Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new statute mandating that firearm owners report any loss or theft to local law enforcement within 48 hours, provide specific identifying details, have an incident report created, and notify police if the firearm is later recovered. This adds a new legal requirement and potential penalties for noncompliance on firearm owners, which restricts the firearms topic under the 'storage-minors' and 'other' subtags as it imposes new obligations related to firearm possession and loss prevention.
