=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Establishes a work group to examine other states' laws, best practices, appropriate reporters, and potential issues for a health-care reporting mandate tied to firearm risk, without enacting any new requirement.
The work group shall report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly by November 1, 2024.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a study group focused on expanding Virginia's substantial risk order (red-flag) process via mandatory health-care reporting of individuals at risk of firearm-related harm; this is preparatory and does not itself change law, so the red-flag tag is expands while the broader study is neutral.
