A vote will take place within the week and it is expected to pass.
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/01/robert-farago/breaking-illinois-modern-firearms-ban-and-mag-cap-bills-pass-out-of-committee/
Both Illinois HB1263 (banning various firearms) and HB815 (regulating the bejesus out of magazines and shooting ranges) have passed out of a Public Health hearing (I swear) by a vote of 6 – 3. Before passing HB1263, the Committee added a sixth amendment. According to its dictates, firearms specified in the bill (e.g. a semi-automatic rifle such as the ones shown above only with longer barrels) must be registered with the Illinois State Police within 240 days of the bill’s passage, at $10 per gun ($15 for a .50). If the owner sells an “assault rifle” to an out-of-state buyer, the former owner must provide the State Police with the buyer’s name and address. Question: what does ANY of this have to do with preventing crime?

Cliffs notes: If this passes you will have to provide proof of ownership, his or her name, and any other identifying information (it's called registration) of any so called "assault rifles" and high capacity magazines in order to possess them. You will not be able to transfer them to another resident of Illinois unless it is an heir. If you transfer them to an out of state resident, you must provide that person's name and address to the Illinois police.
eta: I wish you all the best of luck and hope this doesn't pass. If it does, I hope one of your higher courts or the SCOTUS strikes it down.
