Madison County Circuit Judge Dennis Ruth granted a class of Illinois residents’ request to amend a complaint originally filed in 2015 involving a disputed $1 vendor processing fee for Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card applications.
On Dec. 18, Ruth granted a motion to amend by interlineation filed by Wood River attorney Thomas Maag on behalf of the plaintiffs.
Maag seeks to add a request for an injunction, “barring defendant from charging any fee, for a FOID card application or renewal, over and above the total of $10.00 allowed by statute, unless defendant offers one or more reasonable mechanisms for the applicant to obtain a FOID card with only a $10 payment, without payment of additional fees and costs.”
