What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a person to store any firearm he or she possesses in a securely

locked box or container or other secure locked location or with a trigger lock engaged

if the person resides with a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under

state law. A person who violates this requirement is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor

for a first offense and a Class I felony for a second or subsequent offense.

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.
