PRESENTATIONS  
9.A. Karina's Law Update - DuPage County State's Attorney Bob Berlin  
DuPage County State's Attorney Bob Berlin presented a Karina's Law update to the committee.  
Karina's Law is an Illinois law that requires police to confiscate guns from people who have had  
their Firearm Owner Identification card revoked due to an order of protection. State's Attorney  
Berlin let the committee know that the State's Attorney's Office put together a group of  
stakeholders to meet, prepare and come up with a plan on the implementation of this new law,  
which became effective in May of 2025. He provided an example of a time that this law was  
implemented since the law went into effect. Committee members had questions regarding the  
procedures and process of implementing this law, and State's Attorney Berlin and Undersheriff  
Eddie Moore answered them.  
Once this presentation concluded, Chair Evans recognized Deputy Chief Coroner Tim Rounce's  
retirement after 36 years with the Coroner's office, and provided him with a recognition and  
commendation alongside Coroner Judith Lukas and other Coroner staff members.
