Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
8 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Heavy penalties for narcotics racketeering
Beginning September 1, 2026, narcotics racketeering is a Class 1 felony. Courts can fine up to $250,000 and must order forfeiture of profits and property used in the crime after a hearing.
Firearm services fund and crime task force
The law creates the State Police Firearm Services Fund on July 1, 2024. Money pays for firearm licensing work, task forces, crime prevention, applicant processing, notices, and better LEADS and federal NICS reporting. ISP leads a statewide Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force and enforces against revoked or suspended FOID holders, prioritizing clear and present danger cases. ISP can get certain Task Force support contracts faster. Agencies that join the Task Force may apply for grants from these funds, and any surplus may support gun-trafficking reporting.
How drug fines and forfeitures split
Beginning September 1, 2026, the law sets clear splits for drug-case fines and forfeitures. 12.5% of fines go to the Youth Drug Abuse Prevention Fund for DHS youth treatment and prevention. The rest is divided among local agencies, counties, the Attorney General, and the State Police based on who handled the case. With a statewide grand jury, money is split 60% to police, 25% to AG grants for treatment and prevention, and 15% to prosecutors. Money from Conservation Police cases can support DNR drug and cannabis enforcement on state lands and waterways.
State Police funds consolidated and redirected
The law streamlines State Police finances. It creates the State Police Operations Assistance Fund and moves balances from several older funds into larger administration or operations funds. Transfers include the Drug Traffic Prevention Fund and the LEADS Maintenance Fund; those funds are dissolved after transfer. The State Police Firearm Enforcement Fund balance moves into the Firearm Services Fund, and that Fund is dissolved. From August 20, 2021 through January 1, 2027, certain forfeiture proceeds go to an ISP asset recovery fund that can also buy opioid antagonists. Starting September 1, 2026, a Methamphetamine Law Enforcement Fund helps local agencies with cleanup, overtime, and jail medical costs. Also beginning September 1, 2026, a whistleblower reward fund has set splits and later folds the ISP whistleblower fund into Operations, and a short-term Offender Registration Fund runs until January 1, 2027.
Stricter sex offender rules and fees
Starting September 1, 2026, people who must register as sex offenders face stricter rules and fees. They must report all emails, chat IDs, websites, and, for some crimes, all IP addresses they control. Out-of-state students and workers must register in person within 3 days and if they are in a county 5 straight days or more than 30 days in a year. The fee is $100 to register and $100 each year to renew; part of each fee is sent to state funds, and fees can be waived for indigency. People who must register as murderers or violent offenders against youth must register within 5 days and pay $20 to register and $10 each year. Violating registration rules is a felony, with at least 7 days in jail and a minimum $500 fine. Agencies that register certain offenders must also send copies to the Attorney General.
Statewide missing-person search upgrades
The Illinois State Police runs an automatic LEADS data exchange to help find missing people. Reports go into LEADS right away with no waiting once the minimum data is ready, and a uniform report form is used. ISP keeps a separate file for missing minors, a historic database, and sets a statewide alert policy. ISP audits data quality and trains local officers on missing-person rules. These duties are carried out only as money is appropriated. Most rules took effect August 20, 2021.
Fines for small cannabis grows
If you are cited for producing up to five cannabis plants, the civil fine is $100 to $200. Within 30 days of deposit, $10 of each fine goes to the circuit clerk and $10 to the ticketing agency to help pay for automatic expungements.
FOID card fee set at $10
Beginning July 1, 2024, a FOID card costs $10 to issue or renew. Of each $10, $5 goes to the State Police Firearm Services Fund and $5 to the State Police Firearm Enforcement Fund. The $10 renewal fee (plus small processing fees) is deposited into the State Police Firearm Services Fund. Active duty military, Illinois National Guard, and Reserve members do not pay the application fee.
