IL HB 4471 2025-2026 House

CRIM CD-CONVERTIBLE PISTOLS (Responsible Gun Manufacturing Act)

First chamber Not law yet bank: queued

Not law yet. Pending legislation.

Rep. Justin Slaughter et al.

Bill summary

Official digest is not on this card.

Now vs if chaptered

NOW: not law; parked in House Rules after 2nd reading (Rule 19(a) 5/31/2026). IF CHAPTERED as amended: civil/dealer-duty, not a 720 ILCS 5/24-1 possessory count unless the criminal draft is restored.

Defender utility

Illinois PDs: do not treat this as a live Glock-switch / convertible-pistol possessory count. Current text is a pending civil/dealer-duty vehicle, parked in Rules. If revived, demand proof the firearm meets the convertible-pistol definition and that the charged actor is a manufacturer or certified dealer, not a mere possessor. CA/MD PDs: portable AB 1127 / MD SB 334 Ch. 771 analogue for converter-vs-host-pistol charging — not a California charge.

Who this is for. IL PDs and certified dealers on Glock-switch / convertible-pistol calendars — pending civil/dealer-duty bill parked in Rules, not present law; not a California charge.

Penalties (if chaptered)

Amended text: ISP civil penalty $10,000 first violation / $25,000 second, plus possible certified-dealer license suspend/revoke. Original draft: unlawful possession of weapons / machine-gun theories — not the current House vehicle.
