Creates a Class 1 misdemeanor for an owner of a firearm, as defined in the bill, who (i) allows a minor to possess such firearm and such minor uses such firearm (a) in the commission of a crime or (b) to intentionally or with gross negligence cause bodily injury to himself or another person, or (ii) knows or reasonably should know that a minor is in close proximity, as defined in the bill, to such firearm as to allow such minor to possess or transport such firearm in violation of law and the minor uses such firearm (a) in the commission of a crime or (b) to cause bodily injury to himself or another person. The bill elevates the penalty to a Class 5 felony if such owner of a firearm knows or reasonably should have known that such minor has been charged with or convicted of or adjudicated delinquent of a violent crime or has been the subject of a school-initiated threat assessment.
