1) Clear and present danger reports shall be reviewed by the Department to deny a FOID card application or revoke a FOID card under Section 8(f) or 8.1(d) of this Act.

2) Clear and present danger reporting shall be made consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 USC 1232g) to assist the Department with protecting the health and safety of the public by denying persons who present a clear and present danger from having lawful access to weapons.

c) When five years have passed since the date of the incident giving rise to the clear and present danger, an individual whose FOID card application was denied or FOID card was revoked pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Act, will be issued a FOID card, so long as there have been no new clear and present danger reports filed in the interim and the applicant otherwise meets the requirements of the FOID Act, upon submitting:

1) a new application;

2) a mental health evaluation by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code [405 ILCS 5 ]; and

3) a certification from the physician, clinical psychologist or qualified examiner that the individual is not a clear and present danger to himself, herself, or others.

e) When the report does not meet the definition of "clear and present danger" in Section 1.1 of the Act the Department shall maintain records of clear and present danger reporting for a period of five years from when the clear and present danger report is received.

f) When a denial or revocation is warranted under Section 8(f) of the Act, the Department shall maintain records of clear and present danger reporting.
