Requires individuals convicted of family violence offenses or subject to protective orders to surrender firearms.
This bill mandates that individuals convicted of offenses involving family violence or subject to protective orders must surrender their firearms. The surrender can occur by releasing the firearm to a designee, selling it to a licensed dealer, or surrendering it to law enforcement. Law enforcement must verify the person's eligibility to possess a firearm and notify them if they are ineligible. Unclaimed firearms cannot be destroyed or forfeited to the state. The Office of Court Administration must adopt model affidavits for these processes.
