Sounds like still in the amendments shenanigans.

Looks like the Ds are proposing an amendment that would institute some kind of licensure/training scheme to own firearms that they disapprove of. The bill did not get voted on, has been pushed till tomorrow.
Dude, where's my can?
It passed.
"FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE ELIGIBILITY CARD"
Requires firearm owners to take a safety class with fees paid to the county sheriff and to Parks & Wildlife. Fingerprints and background check then the card is good for 5 years.
Parks can determine the fee, and can only raise it once per year.
It creates a new "FIREARMS TRAINING AND SAFETY COURSE CASH FUND".
So not exactly an owners card, it's a proof of education card.
No word on how this could possibly reduce crime.
Nothing about concealed carry permit reciprocity. They already have background check and fingerprints on file for that.
They added a list of exempt rifles, including Mini 14 Ranch, Mini30 and C&Rs.
Still bullshit, you know the fees will skyrocket and the "safety card" will soon be required for all purchases including ammo and reloading components.

Has this 'law' just created a poll tax?
Page 18, section 8 eliminates the grandfathering of magazines:

I agree with Hunter.

Effectively the change preserves an affirmative defense, but makes it a de-facto violation that can be challenged with the possession date. Honestly, not any different than how SBR's are in Colorado - even with a tax stamp, it's a de-facto violation, the tax stamp creates a rebuttable defense.
TLDR: Not that big of an impact to the existing magazine ban.
The training thing, as mentioned, is a huge f'n mess.
On the flip side, at least we don't have Dudley around, demanding that there be no training exemption at all. After all, we're still waiting for the benefits of his influence in 2013 to be realized...
This whole thing is a fustercluck. Given that a federal judge just ruled the Illinois FOID card to be unconstitutional, this disaster clearly won't pass the smell test in light of Bruen, Heller, McDonald, etc. Unfortunately, none of that will deter the fuckwits occupying the state legislature, and it's gonna cost a fortune(borne by the taxpayers) to litigate it into its well deserved oblivion.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
