Filed with Secretary of State July 12, 2022. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2551, McCarty. Firearms.(1) Existing law makes it a crime for certain persons to possess a firearm, including, among other persons, persons convicted of a felony, persons who are addicted to the use of a narcotic drug, persons convicted of specified violent offenses, persons who have been adjudicated by a court of any state to be a danger to others as a result of a mental disorder or mental illness, and persons who have been admitted to a facility, are receiving inpatient treatment, and, in the opinion of the attending health professional who is primarily responsible for the patients treatment, are a danger to themselves or others.Existing law requires the Department of Justice to examine its records in order to determine whether the purchaser of a firearm is prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a firearm. If the department determines that the purchaser is prohibited from possessing a firearm, existing law requires the department to notify the firearms dealer and either the chief of police or the sheriff in the county in which the sale was made.This bill would require the Department of Justice, if the department determines that a person prohibited from possessing a firearm by the provisions described above has attempted to acquire a firearm, to notify the local law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction over the area in which the person was last known to reside. If the person is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm for reasons relating to mental health, the bill would require the department to also notify the county department of mental health in the county in which the person was last known to reside.(2) Existing law, as added by the Safety for All Act of 2016, an initiative statute approved by voters as Proposition 63 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, requires the sale of ammunition to be conducted by a licensed ammunition vendor. Existing law generally requires ammunition to be sold only to people who meet specified criteria, including to a person whose firearms ownership information matches an entry in the Automated Firearms System and who is eligible to possess ammunition. Existing law, commencing July 1, 2022, similarly regulates the sale of firearm precursor parts.This bill would require the Department of Justice to notify the relevant local law enforcement agency if a person who is prohibited from possessing ammunition attempts to purchase ammunition. Before contacting the person, the bill would require the law enforcement agency to attempt to confirm that the person is prohibited from purchasing ammunition and did in fact attempt to make the reported purchase.This bill would, unless AB 1621 from the 202122 Regular Session is enacted, require the Department of Justice to notify the relevant local law enforcement agency if a person who is prohibited from possessing firearm precursor parts attempts to purchase firearm precursor parts. Before contacting the person, the bill would require the law enforcement agency to attempt to confirm that the person is prohibited from purchasing firearm precursor parts and did in fact attempt to make the reported purchase.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

Section 30472 is added to the Penal Code, to read:30472.
