What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits certain persons who are prohibited under current law from

possessing a firearm from possessing firearm ammunition, as well. Under current

law, a person may not possess a firearm if he or she is convicted of, or adjudicated

delinquent for, committing a felony, ordered not to possess a firearm upon being

committed for or receiving certain mental health or substance abuse treatment, or

subject to certain injunctions or restraining orders relating to abuse or harassment.

Under the bill, a person who may not possess a firearm may not possess firearm

ammunition. A person who does so is guilty of a Class I felony, and may be fined up

to $10,000, imprisoned for up to three years and six month, or both.
