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 repeat 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.
