Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition on firearm possession by anyone required to register as a sex offender (new Article 62.066), applies only to offenses on or after the effective date, and updates related registration notices and forms to inform registrants of the prohibition. This is a new restriction on firearm access for that specific group under the firearms topic; the notice and applicability provisions are procedural and do not alter the scope of the prohibition.
