Illinois lawmakers are once again pushing one of the most extreme anti-gun ideas in circulation: forcing handgun ammunition to be serialized, tracked, and entered into a government registry. The current bill is HB 4414, a bill in the Illinois General Assembly that would require serialized handgun ammunition beginning January 1, 2027, create a centralized Illinois State Police registry of ammunition transactions, and authorize end-user fees of up to 5 cents per round or bullet to fund the system.
As of March 12, 2026, the bill had been assigned to the House Judiciary-Criminal Committee, with hearings listed for March 24 and March 26.
