[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill strengthens protections by requiring firearms and shotgun licensing authorities to consider domestic violence history when deciding whether to grant or renew licenses. It mandates that anyone with a conviction or restraining order related to domestic violence faces automatic scrutiny in the licensing process, and authorities must actively share relevant information between agencies. The bill aims to prevent individuals with a pattern of domestic abuse from accessing firearms, recognizing that domestic violence is a significant risk factor for firearmrelated harm.
Presented by Thomas Docherty.
