What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law prohibits a person from possessing a firearm if he or she has been convicted of a felony, found not guilty of a felony by reason of mental disease or defect, or adjudicated delinquent for an act that if committed by an adult in this state would be a felony. Federal law prohibits a person who is convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence from possessing a firearm. Under this bill, following a conviction, or a finding of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, for a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, state law also prohibits the person from possessing a firearm. A person who violates the prohibition is guilty of a felony and is subject to a fine of up to $25,000 or a term of imprisonment of up to ten years, or both.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report.
