SB 683,
as amended, Block. Firearms:begin delete used firearms.end deletebegin insert firearm safety certificate.end insert
Existing law prohibits a person from purchasing or receiving any handgun without a valid handgun safety certificate, and prohibits any person from selling, delivering, loaning, or transferring any handgun to any person who does not have a valid handgun safety certificate, with exceptions, as specified. Under existing law, a violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.
end insertbegin insertThis bill would instead prohibit a person from purchasing or receiving any firearm without a valid firearm safety certificate, and would prohibit any person from selling, delivering, loaning, or transferring any firearm to any person who does not have a valid firearm safety certificate. The bill would make conforming changes. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
end insertbegin insertThe California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
end insertbegin insertThis bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
end insertExisting law, subject to exceptions, prohibits a person from selling, leasing, or transferring firearms unless the person has been issued a firearms dealer license, as specified. Existing law provides an exception to that requirement for the sale, lease, or transfer of used firearms that are not handguns at gun shows or other events, as specified, if the person has a valid federal firearms license, a current certificate of eligibility, and certain other criteria are met.
end deleteThis bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
