Extends the period during which a person convicted of a family violence misdemeanor is prohibited from possessing a firearm, from the prior law's duration to five years after release from confinement or supervision.
A person who has been convicted of an offense under Section 22.01, punishable as a Class A misdemeanor and committed against an individual whose relationship to or association with the person is described by Section 71.0021(b), 71.003, or 71.005, Family Code commits an offense if the person possesses a firearm before the fifth anniversary of the later of: (1) the date of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the misdemeanor; or (2) the date of the person's release from community supervision following conviction of the misdemeanor.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code §46.04(b) to prohibit firearm possession for five years after a qualifying family violence misdemeanor conviction (expanding the scope of who is covered by deleting the prior limiting phrase and setting a fixed five-year ban), which restricts the ability to possess firearms for those affected. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
