IL HB5483 (2025) — 'Procurement — Firearms' re-referred to House Rules Committee
State bill HB5483 — Illinois — status: in committee
Official title: PROCUREMENT-FIREARMS
What it does
HB5483, titled "Procurement—Firearms," is a House bill that would impose new requirements or restrictions related to public procurement of firearms or firearm-related products and services. The bill text should be consulted for exact provisions; it was re‑referred to the Illinois House Rules Committee under Rule 19(a) on March 27, 2026 and remains in committee.
Industry impact
If enacted, the measure would mainly affect businesses that sell firearms or firearm-related products and services to Illinois state or local governments — manufacturers and dealers that bid on public contracts could face new certification, exclusion, or compliance requirements. Retail businesses that do not participate in government procurement would likely see little direct change, though indirect effects could occur if the law changes state purchasing or grant practices for law enforcement. NFA/SOT holders could be affected only to the extent the bill specifically addresses NFA items or procurement of regulated firearms for public agencies. Review of the official bill text is recommended to determine precise obligations and affected product categories.
