Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends two statutes to expand firearm prohibitions and transfer/surrender requirements for people under certain protective orders or convicted of domestic assault and battery. It adds options and procedures for transferring firearms to third parties meeting new age and residency criteria, which supports compliance with restrictions but does not ease overall firearm access for prohibited persons. No provisions on background checks for private transfers, carry, accessories, preemption, liability, transgender issues, abortion or immigration.
