Indiana HB1299 mandates firearm surrender for domestic violence convictions and outlines penalties for non-compliance.

Indiana HB1299 introduces a new law requiring individuals convicted of domestic battery or domestic violence to surrender their firearms and licenses to law enforcement. The bill defines a "domestic batterer" as someone convicted of such crimes whose firearm possession rights have not been restored. Courts must issue written orders prohibiting firearm possession and requiring surrender. Failure to comply is a Class A misdemeanor, escalating to a Level 6 felony for those with prior convictions.
