SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WLS) — Illinois state lawmakers have passed the "safe at home" gun bill.

The bill includes bumping up the age to require secure, locked storage for weapons in homes with a minor from age 13 to 18.

It would also enhance recording of lost or stolen firearms.

The bill now goes to the desk of Governor JB Pritzker for his signature.
