Visitors to City Hall will notice some new signs come Jan. 1. The new signs notify the public that firearms, concealed or otherwise, are prohibited on City property.
Public Act 98-63, the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, became state law effective July 9. Among other provisions, guns are specifically prohibited in local government buildings. The new law also requires the city to post signs, which have been standardized and approved by the Illinois State Police.

Additional information about the concealed-carry law can be found on the Illinois State Police website, where there also is a page with the text of the law.
