The Illinois General Assembly has passed legislation that would require guns to be removed from the home of an accused abuser when their victim is granted an order of protection in a domestic violence case.

Illinois lawmakers have passed "Karina's Bill," mandating gun confiscation from individuals with a protective order.

Anyone subject to a domestic violence-related order of protection must relinquish their guns to someone eligible to own them. A new bill, however, would require police to confiscate firearms in those cases within a certain timeframe.

The legislation is named after Karina Gonzalez and her 15-year-old daughter Daniela, who were allegedly shot and killed by Gonzalez’s husband.

After more than a year of negotiations, the Illinois General Assembly has passed a law known as Karina’s Bill with bipartisan support. It clarifies that local law enforcement must temporarily remove guns from a person who has an order of protection against them when the alleged victim successfully seeks firearm removal as a remedy in court.

The Illinois General Assembly on Tuesday passed a bill that will require firearms to be removed from the home of an accused abuser when their state-issued Firearm Owners Identification card has been revoked following the issuance of an order of protection in a domestic violence case.

It would require police to confiscate guns within 96 hours from people whose FOID cards have been revoked due to emergency restraining orders.
