Ill. Admin. Code tit. 20, § 1232.70 - Alarm Monitoring System
a)
Beginning January 2, 2020, a certified licensee maintaining firearms
for sale, lease or transfer must be connected to an alarm
monitoring system or service that will notify the licensee and/or the
local law enforcement agency having primary jurisdiction for
the licensee's retail location of an unauthorized intrusion into the
premises of the certified licensee where firearms in inventory are
maintained. (Section 5-50(c) of the Act)
b) Each alarm monitoring system or service
shall meet the following minimum requirements:
1) Coverage of critical areas of the retail
location, including, but not limited to, all entrances, exits, exterior
windows, roof hatches, skylights, and window or wall mounted air conditioning
units where firearms are sold, leased, transferred or stored. When a retail
location exists in a residence or other area of a residential property, an
alarm monitoring system or service must cover the critical areas of the retail
location, open to the public, where firearms are sold, leased, or transferred
and any other area where inventory is stored.
2) Monitoring of interior motion detection,
glass breakage detection, and/or any failure in the alarm system.
3) A notification system that will provide an
alert to the certified licensee, by telephone, email or text message or a
combination thereof, within five minutes after any interior motion detection,
glass breakage, or system failure.
4) The ability to remain operational during a
power outage if all access doors are solely controlled by an electronic access
panel so that locks are not released during a power outage.
c) The system shall be:
1) tested on a regular basis, but in no event
less than once quarterly, to ensure it is functioning properly; and
2) demonstratively operational and
functioning upon inspection by ISP or by any authorized assisting law
enforcement agency.
