An Illinois appellate court has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit over the state’s assault weapons ban, finding that a temporary restraining order keeping the bill from going into effect can stand.
The Attorney General's office says it intends to appeal the ruling to the state's Supreme Court.
The judges in the case also encouraged the state’s Supreme Court to revisit several procedures used in the legislature during the passage of the bill, including replacing a non-related bill with the ban’s language and enforcing regulations that require legislation to be put forward for public input and review before passage.
The suit was one of numerous actions filed against the assault weapons ban, which would not only prohibit the sale or possession of firearms designated as “assault weapons,” but would also require gun owners to register weapons by Jan. 2024.
