A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5278 AS INTRODUCED 10-17-01
Under the handgun licensure act, the Department of State Police (DSP) is required, upon entry of an order or disposition into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN), to send a written notice to the subject of the order or disposition. The written notice must include, among other things, a statement that the person cannot obtain a license to purchase a pistol or obtain a concealed weapon license until the order or disposition is removed from the LEIN.
House Bill 5278 would amend this provision to prohibit the DSP from sending the written notice of an entry into the LEIN to a person who was the respondent of a personal protection order (PPO) issued under Section 2950 (domestic violence) or Section 2950a (stalking) of the Revised Judicature Act until the DSP received notice that the respondent of the PPO had been served with or had received notice of the PPO.
