Senate Bill No. 808

Introduced by Senator De León

February 22, 2013

An act to amend Sections 11106, 16520, 23910, and 30105 of, and to add Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 29180) to Division 7 of Title 4 of Part 6 of, the Penal Code, relating to firearms.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 808, as amended, De León. Firearms: identifying information.

(1) Existing law authorizes the Department of Justice to assign a distinguishing number or mark of identification to any firearm whenever the firearm lacks a manufacturer’s number or other mark of identification, or whenever the manufacturer’s number or other mark of identification or distinguishing number or mark assigned by the department has been destroyed or obliterated.

This bill would, commencing July 1, 2016, require a person who manufactures or assembles a firearm to first apply to the department for a unique serial number or other identifying mark, as provided. The bill would, by January 1, 2017, require any person who, as of July 1, 2016, owns a firearm that does not bear a serial number to likewise apply to the department for a unique serial number or other mark of identification. The bill would prohibit the sale or transfer of ownership of a firearm manufactured or assembled pursuant to these provisions. The bill would prohibit a person from aiding in the manufacture or assembly of a firearm by a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm. The bill would make a violation of these provisions a misdemeanor. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would require the department to issue a serial number or other identifying mark to an applicant meeting specified criteria and would allow the department to charge a fee to recover its costs associated with assigning a distinguishing number or mark pursuant to the above provisions.

(2) Existing law allows an individual to request that the Department of Justice perform a firearms eligibility check for that individual. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for a person or agency to require or request an individual to obtain a firearms eligibility check.

This bill would require a person to complete a firearms eligibility check before the department may grant an application for the assignment of a serial number or mark of identification. The bill would exempt this provision from the above prohibition on requiring or requesting an individual to obtain a firearms eligibility check.

(3) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 11106 of the Penal Code proposed by begin insert AB 1609 and end insert SB 53 that would become operative if this bill and begin delete SB 53 are end delete begin insert either or end insert both begin insert of those bills are end insert enacted and this bill is enacted last. begin insert This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 16520 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1609 that would become operative if this bill and AB 1609 are both enacted and this bill is enacted last. end insert

The 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.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

Section 30105 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

30105.  

(a) An individual may request that the Department of
Justice perform a firearms eligibility check for that individual. The
applicant requesting the eligibility check shall provide the personal
information required by Section 28160, as applicable, but not any
information regarding any firearm, to the department, in an
application specified by the department.

(b) The department shall charge a fee of twenty dollars ($20)
for performing the eligibility check authorized by this section, but
not to exceed the actual processing costs of the department. After
the department establishes fees sufficient to reimburse the
department for processing costs, fees charged may increase at a
rate not to exceed the legislatively approved cost-of-living
adjustment for the department’s budget or as otherwise increased
through the Budget Act.

(c) An applicant for the eligibility check pursuant to subdivision
(a) shall complete the application, have it notarized by any licensed
California Notary Public, and submit it by mail to the department.

(d) Upon receipt of a notarized application and fee, the
department shall do all of the following:

(1) Examine its records, and the records it is authorized to
request from the State Department of State Hospitals pursuant to
Section 8104 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, to determine
if the purchaser is prohibited by state or federal law from
possessing, receiving, owning, or purchasing a firearm.

(2) Notify the applicant by mail of its determination of whether
the applicant is prohibited by state or federal law from possessing,
receiving, owning, or purchasing a firearm. The department’s
notification shall state either “eligible to possess firearms as of the
date the check was completed” or “ineligible to possess firearms
as of the date the check was completed.”

(e) If the department determines that the information submitted
to it in the application contains any blank spaces, or inaccurate,
illegible, or incomplete information, preventing identification of
the applicant, or if the required fee is not submitted, the department
shall not be required to perform the firearms eligibility check.

(f) The department shall make applications to conduct a firearms
eligibility check as described in this section available to licensed
firearms dealers and on the department’s Internet Web site.

(g) The department shall be immune from any liability arising
out of the performance of the firearms eligibility check, or any
reliance upon the firearms eligibility check.

(h) Except as provided in Sections 29180 and 29182, a person
or agency shall not require or request an individual to obtain a
firearms eligibility check or notification of a firearms eligibility
check pursuant to this section. A violation of this subdivision is a
misdemeanor.

(i) The department shall include on the application specified in
subdivision (a) and the notification of eligibility specified in
subdivision (d) the following statements:

“No person or agency may require or request an individual to
obtain a firearms eligibility check or notification of firearms
eligibility check pursuant to Section 30105 of the Penal Code. A
violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.”

“If the applicant for a firearms eligibility check purchases,
transfers, or receives a firearm through a licensed dealer as required
by law, a waiting period and background check are both required.”
