Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Monday signed new legislation expanding background checks on all gun sales in the state starting in 2024, a step he touted as “commonsense” and with bipartisan support.
The legislation which was signed in Aurora, Illinois, more than two years after five employees were killed in a mass shooting at a manufacturing business in the city also invests in community-based mental health programs, sets up a stolen firearm database and revises the state’s Firearm Owners Identification card protocols.
