Firearms Restraining Order Forms | State of Illinois Office of the Illinois Courts

The Firearms Restraining Order Act directs the court to provide forms and clerical assistance through the office of the circuit clerk to help with the writing and filing of petitions to any person, not represented by counsel, under the Act. In addition, assistance may be provided by the State’s Attorney. The Supreme Court assigned the Conference of Chief Circuit Judges (Conference) the task of approving simplified forms. The original forms were released January 18, 2019, and are now updated due to Public Act 102-345, effective June 1, 2022.
