Restricts gun access model confidence 85%

Adds juveniles subject to the 30-year firearm prohibition (from juvenile adjudication for serious/violent offenses) to the list of prohibited persons for whom a search warrant may issue if the court finds they failed to relinquish a firearm, increasing the ability to seize guns from this group.

When the property or things to be seized include a firearm that is owned by, or in the possession of, or in the custody or control of, a juvenile who is subject to the prohibition on owning or possessing a firearm until they are 30 years of age when the court has made a finding that the person has failed to relinquish the firearm as required by law.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the application of firearm-relinquishment procedures, probation-officer investigations, Automated Firearms System updates, and search-warrant authority specifically to juveniles prohibited from possessing firearms until age 30 due to serious/violent juvenile adjudications. This strengthens enforcement of the existing prohibition on minors (under 30) owning or possessing firearms, without creating any new exceptions or easing access; therefore it restricts the firearms axis under the storage-minors and red-flag-erpo subtags. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, 2
