UNLAWFUL WEAPON POSSESSION
Not law yet. Pending legislation.
Sen. Andrew S. Chesney
Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: not law; referred to Senate Assignments 1/24/2025. IF CHAPTERED: FOID-less 24-1 that would otherwise be lawful with a card becomes a petty offense — FOID itself still exists unless a repeal bill (SB 3171 / HB 1343) also chapters.
Defender utility
Illinois PDs on FOID-less UUW / AUUW calendars: this is a pending petty-offense reclass, not present law. Keep it next to live FOID-repeal cards SB 3171 / HB 1343 — those repeal the card; this one would leave FOID standing and shrink the possessory count. Not a California DROS charge.
Who this is for. IL PDs on FOID-less UUW calendars — pending petty-offense reclass parked in Assignments, not present law; not California DROS.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Draft: petty offense for the described FOID-less UUW subset. Not a live reclass.
