What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm due

to the commission of, or the solicitation, conspiracy, or attempt to commit, a violent

felony is convicted of illegally possessing a firearm, the court must impose a

mandatory minimum three-year incarceration period if the person, within the five

years prior to the illegal possession of the firearm, was serving a sentence, was on

parole, or was committed for a subsequent felony or a violent misdemeanor. Under

this bill, the court must also impose the mandatory minimum three-year

incarceration period if the person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm

violated the prohibition while on probation, parole, extended supervision, or

conditional release for the commission of a prior felony or violent misdemeanor.
