Proposes that nothing in the provisions that deny eligibility for or permit revocation and seizure of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a person who has been a patient in a mental institution within the past 5 years shall be interpreted to independently require or permit a unit of government, which requires the possession of a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card as a condition of employment, to terminate, suspend, or place on leave without pay an officer from the time of denial, revocation, or seizure and while the officer's request for relief is pending.
