| 1 | | - | Assembly Bill No. 2176 CHAPTER 185 An act to amend Sections 18255, 18260, 18405, 20155, 22815, 23685, 26045, 26890, 31640, 31700, and 32010 of the Penal Code, relating to firearms. [ Approved by Governor August 24, 2018. Filed with Secretary of State August 24, 2018. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2176, Jones-Sawyer. Firearms.(1) Existing law requires a peace officer to take temporary custody of any firearm or other deadly weapon discovered at the scene of a domestic violence incident involving a threat to human life or physical assault, when serving a protective order, or when serving a gun violence restraining order. Existing law requires the officer taking custody of the firearm to give the owner a receipt indicating where the firearm or other deadly weapon can be recovered, the time limit for recovery, and the date after which the owner can recover the firearm or other deadly weapon.This bill would require the receipt to include the name and residential mailing address of the owner of the firearm or other deadly weapon. Because this bill would increase the duties of local law enforcement, it would impose a state-mandated local program.(2) Existing law prohibits the sale of tear gas or a tear gas weapon to a minor. Notwithstanding this law, existing law allows a minor who has attained 16 years of age to purchase and possess tear gas or a tear gas weapon if the minor is accompanied by a parent or guardian, or has the written consent of a parent or guardian. Existing law requires any civil liability of a minor arising out of the minors use of tear gas or a tear gas weapon other than for self-defense to be imposed upon the person, parent, or guardian who signed the statement of consent.This bill would impose that civil liability on the parent, guardian, or other person who authorized the provision of tear gas to a minor by signing a statement of consent or accompanying the minor.(3) This bill would make various technical, nonsubstantive changes.(4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

This subdivision may not apply when the circumstances involve a mutual restraining order issued pursuant to Division 10 (commencing with Section 6200) of the Family Code absent a factual finding of a specific threat to the persons life or safety. It is not the intent of the Legislature to limit, restrict, or narrow the application of current statutory or judicial authority to apply this or other justifications to a defendant charged with violating Section 25850 or committing another similar offense. Upon trial for violating Section 25850, the trier of fact shall determine whether the defendant was acting out of a reasonable belief that the defendant was in grave danger.(c) As used in this section, immediate means the brief interval before and after the local law enforcement agency, when reasonably possible, has been notified of the danger and before the arrival of its assistance.SEC. 8.

| 18 | 28 | | (1) Existing law requires a peace officer to take temporary custody of any firearm or other deadly weapon discovered at the scene of a domestic violence incident involving a threat to human life or physical assault, when serving a protective order, or when serving a gun violence restraining order. Existing law requires the officer taking custody of the firearm to give the owner a receipt indicating where the firearm or other deadly weapon can be recovered, the time limit for recovery, and the date after which the owner can recover the firearm or other deadly weapon.This bill would require the receipt to include the name and residential mailing address of the owner of the firearm or other deadly weapon. Because this bill would increase the duties of local law enforcement, it would impose a state-mandated local program.(2) Existing law prohibits the sale of tear gas or a tear gas weapon to a minor. Notwithstanding this law, existing law allows a minor who has attained 16 years of age to purchase and possess tear gas or a tear gas weapon if the minor is accompanied by a parent or guardian, or has the written consent of a parent or guardian. Existing law requires any civil liability of a minor arising out of the minors use of tear gas or a tear gas weapon other than for self-defense to be imposed upon the person, parent, or guardian who signed the statement of consent.This bill would impose that civil liability on the parent, guardian, or other person who authorized the provision of tear gas to a minor by signing a statement of consent or accompanying the minor.(3) This bill would make various technical, nonsubstantive changes.(4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. |

Section 20155 of the Penal Code is amended to read:20155. Any manufacturer, importer, or distributor of toy, look-alike, or imitation firearms that fails to comply with any applicable federal law or regulation governing the marking of a toy, look-alike, or imitation firearm, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The definition of imitation firearm specified in Section 16700 does not apply to this section.SEC. 5. Section 22815 of the Penal Code is amended to read:22815. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (d) of Section 22810, a minor who has attained the age of 16 years may purchase and possess tear gas or a tear gas weapon pursuant to this division if the minor is accompanied by a parent or guardian, or has the written consent of a parent or guardian.(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 22810, a person may sell or furnish tear gas or a tear gas weapon to a minor who has attained the age of 16 years and who is accompanied by a parent or guardian, or who presents a statement of consent signed by the minors parent or guardian.(c) Any civil liability of a minor arising out of the minors use of tear gas or a tear gas weapon other than for self-defense is imposed upon the parent, guardian, or other person who authorized the provision of tear gas to a minor by signing a statement of consent or accompanying the minor, as specified in subdivision (b). That parent, guardian, or other person shall be jointly and severally liable with the minor for any damages proximately resulting from the negligent or wrongful act or omission of the minor in the use of the tear gas or a tear gas weapon.SEC. 6. Section 23685 of the Penal Code is amended to read:23685. Each lead law enforcement agency investigating an incident shall report to the State Department of Health Services any information obtained that reasonably supports the conclusion that a child 18 years of age or younger suffered an unintentional or self-inflicted gunshot wound inflicted by a firearm that was sold or transferred in this state, or manufactured in this state.

Section 26045 of the Penal Code is amended to read:26045.

This subdivision may not apply when the circumstances involve a mutual restraining order issued pursuant to Division 10 (commencing with Section 6200) of the Family Code absent a factual finding of a specific threat to the persons life or safety. It is not the intent of the Legislature to limit, restrict, or narrow the application of current statutory or judicial authority to apply this or other justifications to a defendant charged with violating Section 25850 or committing another similar offense. Upon trial for violating Section 25850, the trier of fact shall determine whether the defendant was acting out of a reasonable belief that the defendant was in grave danger.(c) As used in this section, immediate means the brief interval before and after the local law enforcement agency, when reasonably possible, has been notified of the danger and before the arrival of its assistance.SEC. 8.
