What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the attorney general to notify law enforcement if, during a background check that the Department of Justice must conduct on persons purchasing a handgun, DOJ determines that the person who is attempting to purchase the handgun is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to the commission of a felony or due to being subject to certain injunctions, such as a domestic abuse injunction. Under this bill, the law enforcement agency receiving the notice must notify the victim of the felony that led to the prohibition or the petitioner in the injunction process. Current law allows, but does not require, the attorney general to so notify law enforcement and does not require the victim or petitioner to be notified of the attempted purchase.
