Bill overview
This bill provides immunity from civil liability to licensed firearm dealers and local law enforcement agencies when they return a firearm to its owner as part of a firearm hold agreement. The agreement requires the dealer or agency to take possession of the firearm at the owner’s request and return it according to the terms of the agreement. However, this immunity does not apply if the dealer or agency acted with gross negligence, reckless conduct, or knew the owner was demonstrating behavior indicating an intent to misuse the firearm or harm themselves or others.
