The Safe Gun Storage Act requires owners to keep weapons in a locked box around minors and at-risk individuals. Another bill requires law enforcement agencies to use a federal tracing system to track firearms.

Gun owners in Illinois will soon be required to take additional measures to keep their weapons out of the hands of children under a new law signed Monday by Gov. JB Pritzker.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Monday signed the two bills into law, which he said will continue Illinois’ efforts to be among the most aggressive states in combating gun violence.
