Illinois Chief Justice issues reminder that court orders determining a person to have mental health problems must be forwarded to Illinois State Police for weapon background checks

This post is a follow-up on an earlier one regarding the Illinois State Auditor General’s report on the limited adherence of counties statewide to report mental health findings to the Illinois State Police for its background checks for Firearm Owner’s Identification Cards. That post may be found at /2/post/2012/05/illinois-auditor-general-releases-report-on-effectiveness-of-illinois-firearms-owners-identification-card-act.html. The Auditor General’s report indicated that only Cook, LaSalle and Bureau counties were the only three that routinely followed mandated reporting.

Today, the Chicago Tribune reported at https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-chief-justice-mentally-ill-guns-0510-20130510,0,1619747.story that Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride issued a memorandum reminding all Illinois judges to direct circuit court clerk’s to forward to the Illinois State Police orders determining that persons have mental health problems.
