Summary
Existing law provides exceptions to certain firearms transaction requirements in the case of government entities that obtain firearms as part of an authorized, voluntary program where the entity is buying or receiving weapons from private individuals. This bill would additionally require in connection with those transactions, that a private individual who surrenders, gives, or transfers a firearm to a law enforcement agency or government entity pursuant to a voluntary program shall deliver a completed form, as specified, to the law enforcement agency or government entity at the time the firearm is surrendered. The bill would require the law enforcement agency or government entity to take the individual's thumbprint and to complete an online check of the Department of Justice's lost or stolen firearms registry at the time of surrender to determine if the surrendered firearm is lost or stolen and to file the completed form with the Department of Justice. By imposing additional duties on local government entities in connection with specified firearms surrender provisions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
