Overview
This bill amends California law to clarify how the state handles individuals prohibited from owning firearms due to criminal history or mental health concerns. Specifically, it updates procedures for notifying the Department of Justice when a juvenile court grants dismissal of a petition related to firearm prohibition, ensures the Department of Justice receives relevant information about sealed records, and clarifies responsibilities for designated facilities regarding reporting and firearm relinquishment. It also addresses restrictions on firearm ownership for individuals undergoing intensive treatment and those adjudicated as mentally disordered.
Key provisions
- Requires juvenile courts to notify the Department of Justice if a juvenile petition for firearm prohibition is dismissed.
- Authorizes the Department of Justice to provide a person with a copy of their sealed record if the department determines they are unsuitable to own a firearm.
- Requires designated facilities to submit reports to the Department of Justice regarding individuals placed under restrictions on firearm ownership.
- Modifies procedures for sealing juvenile records related to firearm prohibitions, including extending the time before records are destroyed.
- Extends the five-year prohibition on firearm ownership for individuals certified for intensive treatment.
- Requires facilities to provide individuals released from intensive treatment with a form detailing the firearm prohibition.
- Mandates that all information provided to the Department of Justice regarding firearm prohibitions be kept confidential and separate.
