(h) If an officer of a law enforcement agency initiates an investigative stop, including, but not limited to, a traffic stop, of a licensee or a non-resident carrying a concealed firearm under subsection (e) of
Section 40 of this Act, upon the request of the officer the licensee or non-resident shall disclose to the officer that he or she is in possession of a concealed firearm under this Act, or present the license upon the request of the officer if he or she is a licensee or present upon the request of the officer evidence
under paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of Section 40 of this Act that he or she is a non-resident qualified to carry
under that subsection. The disclosure requirement under this subsection (h) is satisfied if the licensee presents his or her license to the officer or the non-resident presents to the officer evidence under paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of Section 40 of this Act that he or she is qualified to carry under that subsection. Upon the request of the officer, the licensee or non-resident shall also identify the location of the concealed firearm and permit the officer to safely secure the firearm for the duration of the investigative stop. During a traffic stop, any
passenger within the vehicle who is a licensee or a non-resident carrying under subsection (e) of

services personnel determines that it is necessary for the safety of any person
present, including the law enforcement officer or emergency services personnel. The licensee or nonresident
shall submit to the order to secure the firearm. When the law enforcement officer or emergency services
personnel have determined that the licensee or non-resident is not a threat to
the safety of any person present, including the law enforcement officer or emergency services personnel, and
if the licensee or non-resident is physically and mentally capable of
possessing the firearm, the law enforcement officer or emergency services personnel shall return the
firearm to the licensee or non-resident before releasing him or her from the
scene and breaking contact. If the licensee or non-resident is transported for
treatment to another location, the firearm shall be turned over to any peace
officer. The peace officer shall provide a receipt which includes the make,
model, caliber, and serial number of the firearm.
(i) The Illinois State Police shall maintain a database of license applicants and licensees.

If the Board does not determine by a preponderance of the evidence that the applicant poses a danger to himself or herself or others, or is a threat to public safety, then the Board shall notify the Illinois State Police that the applicant is eligible for a license.

Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
(h-5) If the Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a
licensee under this Act expires during the term of the license
issued under this Act, the license and the Firearm Owner's
Identification Card remain valid, and the Illinois State Police
may automatically renew the licensee's Firearm Owner's
