SPRINGFIELD, Ill.  — A bill passed Wednesday in the Illinois House would require gun owners to be fingerprinted and they will pay more for firearm owner identification cards.

The bill is designed to address what Democratic Rep. Kathleen Willis of Addison calls deficiencies in the state’s current Firearm Owner’s Identification system.

She said the bill is a response to the shooting at an Aurora factory in February that left six dead, including the shooter.

Gary Montez Martin obtained a FOID card even though he was a convicted felon and should not have been eligible for one.

In addition to fingerprinting, FOID cards would cost $20 and be valid for five years.

Currently, cards cost $10 and are good for 10 years.
