↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 85%
Imposes a three-year prohibition on purchasing, possessing, or transporting firearms after a misdemeanor conviction for assault and battery of a family or household member, with restoration of rights thereafter unless further disqualifying events occur.
Any person who knowingly and intentionally purchases, possesses, or transports any firearm following a misdemeanor conviction for an offense that occurred on or after July 1, 2021, for (i) the offense of assault and battery of a family or household member or (ii) an offense substantially similar to clause (i) under the laws of any other state or of the United States is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends two statutes to strengthen firearm prohibitions and surrender/transfer requirements for people under domestic protective orders or convicted of domestic assault and battery, adding age and residency conditions on allowable private transfers, mandatory certifications with transferee reporting, contempt penalties, and a temporary post-conviction ban. All changes impose more restrictions on firearm access for these prohibited persons; no provisions expand access or address other listed topics.
