INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bonta

                        JANUARY 24, 2013

government.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 180, as amended, Bonta. Registration and licensing of firearms:
exclusive regulation by the Legislature.
   Existing law states the intention of the Legislature to occupy the
whole field of regulation of registration or licensing of
commercially manufactured firearms as encompassed by the Penal Code
to the exclusion of all local regulations.
   This bill would provide an exception to those provisions by
authorizing the City of Oakland to enact  and enforce
 an ordinance or regulation that is more restrictive than
state law regulating the registration or licensing of commercially
manufactured firearms as encompassed by the Penal Code  and make
conforming changes  .
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
