CRIM CD-HANDGUN AMMO-SERIALIZE
Not law yet. Pending legislation.
Illinois House (104th GA)
Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: not law; re-referred to House Rules (Rule 19(a) 3/27/2026). IF CHAPTERED: Class A manufacture/sale and Class C public-possession counts on unserialized handgun ammo starting 1/1/2027 plus an ISP ammo registry.
Defender utility
Illinois PDs: this would be a new possessory/sale count on unserialized handgun ammunition, not a firearm-serial case. If it ever chapters, demand proof the round is 'handgun ammunition,' that it lacks the required serial, and that the location is a public place for the Class C theory; manufacturers/importers/dealers face the Class A path. Not a California charge; portable only as a serialization-duty analogue.
Who this is for. IL PDs on ammo-possession calendars and makers/dealers facing a pending serialization/registry duty — not present law; not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Class A misdemeanor (manufacture/import/sale/gift/loan of unserialized handgun ammo); Class C misdemeanor (public possession). End-user fee cap 5 cents/round.
