The law is an amendment to the village's firearm ordinance already on the books. Now, the town's leaders unanimously voted to ban assault weapons like AR-15s, WLS reported.
It also bans certain pistols and shotguns, WBBM reported.
The ordinance goes into effect on June 14. Those owners who don't remove the banned weapons from their homes face a fine of up to $1,000 a day, WLS reported.
Members of law enforcement, as well as retired law enforcement members, are exempt, WBBM reported.
