The passage comes a bit over six months after a gunman in Highland Park killed seven and wounded more than 48 people at a Fourth of July parade.
The Illinois House voted 68-41 to approve the measure, which included some changes made by the Illinois Senate.
Changes made by the Senate to the measure included asking the Illinois State Police by administrative rule to provide further guidance to make sure hunters are not impeded. Private security contractors would also be offered exemptions regarding their firearms and magazines. Shooting suspect Robert Crimo III is accused of killing seven people and wounding more than 48 at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade. And legislators sought to close what they saw as loopholes that led to the shooting.
