Summary

Existing law provides that commencing February 1, 2011, a vendor shall not sell or otherwise transfer ownership of any handgun ammunition without, at the time of delivery, legibly recording specified information regarding the purchaser or transferee, and maintaining the record for a period of not less than 5 years, as specified. Existing law provides that violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. Existing law also provides that the records shall be subject to inspection by any peace officer and certain others, as specified, for purposes of an investigation where access to those records is or may be relevant to that investigation, when seeking information about persons prohibited from owning a firearm or ammunition, or when engaged in ensuring compliance with laws pertaining to firearms or ammunition, as specified. This bill would provide that commencing February 1, 2011, except for investigatory and enforcement purposes described above, no ammunition vendor shall provide the required information to any 3rd party, or use the information for any purpose other than as is required or authorized by statute or regulation, without the written consent of the purchaser or transferee. The bill would also provide that any required ammunition records that are no longer required to be maintained shall be destroyed in a specified manner. The bill would provide that violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law requires certain information to be collected by firearms dealers in connection with the transfer of firearms and submitted to the Department of Justice, as specified. This bill would provide that no firearms dealer shall provide the information required by those provisions to any 3rd party, or use the information for any purpose other than as is required or authorized by statute or regulation, without the written consent of the purchaser or transferee, except for purposes of 3rd-party electronic submission to the department. The bill would also provide that any of these records that are no longer required to be maintained, if destroyed, shall be destroyed in a specified manner. This bill would incorporate amendments to Section 12077 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1810, contingent on the prior enactment of that bill. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would provide that these provisions shall only become operative if AB 2358 of the 2009–10 Regular Session of the Legislature is enacted and becomes effective on or before January 1, 2011.
