| 3 | | of protection shall notify the Department within 7 days and |
| 4 | | transmit the license to the Department. |
| 5 | | (c) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license, |

| 7 | | license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a |
| 8 | | license under this Act. |
| 9 | | (d) A licensee shall not carry a concealed firearm while |
| 10 | | under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, |
| 11 | | intoxicating compound or combination of compounds, or any |
| 12 | | combination thereof, under the standards set forth in |
| 13 | | subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. |
| 14 | | A licensee in violation of this subsection (d) shall be |
| 15 | | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second violation |
| 16 | | and a Class 4 felony for a third violation. The Department may |
| 17 | | suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and |
| 18 | | shall permanently revoke a license for a third violation. |
| 19 | | (e) Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation |
| 20 | | of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second |
| 21 | | or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. A licensee |
| 22 | | who knowingly carries a firearm on or into a building, real |
| 23 | | property, or parking area under the control of a public or |
| 24 | | private pre-school, elementary or secondary school, college, |
| 25 | | or university in violation of paragraph (1), (2), or (15) of |
| 26 | | subsection (a) of Section 65 of this Act is guilty of a Class 4 |

| 2 | | subsequent offense. The Department may suspend a license for up |
| 3 | | to 6 months for a second violation and shall permanently revoke |

| 5 | | Any person convicted of a violation under this Section shall |
| 6 | | pay a $150 fee to be deposited into the Mental Health Reporting |
| 7 | | Fund, plus any applicable court costs or fees. |
| 8 | | (f) A licensee convicted or found guilty of a violation of |
| 9 | | this Act who has a valid license and is otherwise eligible to |
| 10 | | carry a concealed firearm shall only be subject to the |
| 11 | | penalties under this Section and shall not be subject to the |
| 12 | | penalties under Section 21-6, paragraph (4), (8), or (10) of |
| 13 | | subsection (a) of Section 24-1, or subparagraph (A-5) or (B-5) |
| 14 | | of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1.6 of the |
| 15 | | Criminal Code of 2012. Except as otherwise provided in this |
| 16 | | subsection, nothing in this subsection prohibits the licensee |
| 17 | | from being subjected to penalties for violations other than |
| 18 | | those specified in this Act. |
| 19 | | (g) A licensee whose license is revoked, suspended, or |
| 20 | | denied shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the |
| 21 | | revocation, suspension, or denial surrender his or her |
| 22 | | concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency |
| 23 | | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency |
| 24 | | shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed |
| 25 | | carry license to the Department of State Police. If the |
| 26 | | licensee whose concealed carry license has been revoked, |

| 4 | | search for and seize the concealed carry license in the |
| 5 | | possession and under the custody or control of the licensee |
| 6 | | whose concealed carry license has been revoked, suspended, or |
| 7 | | denied. The observation of a concealed carry license in the |
| 8 | | possession of a person whose license has been revoked, |
| 9 | | suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the |
| 10 | | arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A |
| 11 | | violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. |
| 12 | | (h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be |
| 13 | | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a |
| 14 | | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer |
| 15 | | possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A |
| 16 | | licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h) |
| 17 | | shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided |
| 18 | | for in subsection (g) of this Section. |
| 19 | | This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed |
| 20 | | an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
|
| 21 | | Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible |
| 22 | | to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
