HB 2627

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that the corporate authorities of each municipality may prohibit any offensive or unwholesome business or establishment, any firearm dealer, or any firearm range (rather than any offensive or unwholesome business or establishment) only within the municipality and within the distance of one mile beyond the municipal limits. Amends the Firearm Dealer License Certification Act. Provides that a retail location established after the effective date of the amendatory Act shall not be located within 1,500 feet (rather than 500 feet) of any school, preschool, day care, cemetery, library, public park, forest preserve, public housing, or place of religious worship (rather than any school, preschool, or day care). Amends the Counties Code and further amends the Illinois Municipal Code adding similar restrictions for the location of firearm ranges in counties and municipalities. Limits the concurrent exercise of home rule powers. Amends the Premises Liability Act. Repeals provisions concerning an owner or operator of a firearm range having immunity from criminal and civil liability in specified circumstances.
