    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Gambling Act is amended by 
changing Section 5.4 as follows:
 
    (230 ILCS 10/5.4)
    Sec. 5.4. Retired investigators and sworn law enforcement 
personnel Retiring investigators; purchase of service firearm 
and badge.  
    (a) The Board shall establish a program to allow an 
investigator appointed under paragraph (20.6) of subsection 
(c) of Section 4 who is honorably retiring in good standing to 
purchase either one or both of the following: (1) any badge 
previously issued to the investigator by the Board; or (2) if 
the investigator has a currently valid Firearm Owner's 
Identification Card, the service firearm issued or previously 
issued to the investigator by the Board. The badge must be 
permanently and conspicuously marked in such a manner that the 
individual who possesses the badge is not mistaken for an 
actively serving law enforcement officer. The cost of the 
firearm shall be the replacement value of the firearm and not 
the firearm's fair market value.
    (b) The Board shall:
        (1) allow sworn law enforcement personnel employed by 
    the Board who retire in good standing to keep their 
    previously issued Board identification cards. The Board 
    shall stamp in red lettering "RETIRED" recognizing their 
    retired status; or
        (2) issue photographic identification cards to sworn 
    law enforcement personnel employed by the Board who retire 
    in good standing that indicate their separation from 
    service and identify the person as having been employed by 
    the Board as sworn law enforcement personnel.
    If a Board-issued identification card described in this 
subsection is lost or stolen, the Board shall immediately 
reissue a replacement identification card that meets the 
requirements of paragraph (1) or (2) upon written request by 
the retired sworn law enforcement personnel.
