Refused passage. 08/22/14 Ordered to third reading. 08/22/14 Read third time and amended. Darned close, though, vote was 35-35. It will be back, no doubt. Keep those calls, emails, and hand written letters going.Interesting also that State Sen. Leland Yee had been one of the coauthors of this bill. Wonder why his name isn't on it anymore? Introduced by Senator De León (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Skinner) (Coauthors: Senators Leno and Steinberg) (Coauthor: Coauthors: Assembly Member Members Bonta and Ting) December 20, 2012 An act to amend Sections 11106, 17315, 30000, 30005, 30312, 30345, 30347, 30350, 30352, and 30365 of, to amend the heading of Article 3 (commencing with Section 30345) of Chapter 1 of Division 10 of Title 4 of Part 6 of, to add Sections 16663 and, 30313, 30348, and 30367 to, to add Article 4 (commencing with Section 30370) to Chapter 1 of Division 10 of Title 4 of Part 6 of, to add Article 5 (commencing with Section 30380) to Chapter 1 of Division 10 of Title 4 of Part 6 of, and to repeal Section 30355 of, the Penal Code, relating to ammunition. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 53, as amended, De León. Ammunition: purchase permits. (1) Existing law requires the Attorney General to maintain records, including among other things, fingerprints, licenses to carry concealed firearms, and information from firearms dealers pertaining to firearms, for purposes of assisting in the investigation of crimes, and specified civil actions. In regard to certain of those records, existing law authorizes specified peace officers to disseminate the name of the subject of the record, the number of firearms listed in the record, the description of any firearm, and other information reported to the Department of Justice, as specified, if the subject of the record has been arraigned, is being prosecuted, or is serving a sentence for domestic violence, or is the subject of specified protective orders. Existing law requires the law enforcement officer to provide a victim of domestic violence to whom information is disseminated with a “Victims of Domestic Violence” card, and authorizes the victim or other person to whom the information is disseminated to disclose that information as he or she deems necessary to protect himself, herself, or another person from bodily harm by the person who is the subject of the record. This bill would require the Attorney General to also maintain copies of ammunition purchase permits, information about ammunition transactions, as specified, and ammunition vendor licenses, as specified, for those purposes. This bill would similarly authorize specified peace officers to disseminate the name of a person and the fact of any ammunition purchases by that person, as specified, if the subject of the record has been arraigned, is being prosecuted, or is serving a sentence for domestic violence, or is the subject of specified protective orders. The bill would require the law enforcement officer to provide a victim of domestic violence to whom information is disseminated with a “Victims of Domestic Violence” card, and would authorize the victim or other person to whom the information is disseminated to disclose that information as he or she deems necessary to protect himself, herself, or another person from bodily harm by the person who is the subject of the record. By imposing new duties on local law enforcement officers, this bill would impose a state‑mandated local program. (2) Existing law establishes the Prohibited Armed Persons File, the purpose of which is to cross-reference persons prohibited from possessing firearms with records of firearm transactions to determine if these persons have acquired or attempted to acquire firearms. Under existing law, a person who is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm is prohibited from owning, possessing, or having under his or her custody or control, any ammunition or reloaded ammunition. The bill would also create a similar Prohibited Ammunition Purchaser File for these purposes. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2016, use the Prohibited Armed Persons File to cross-reference those persons with records of ammunition transactions to determine if these persons have acquired or attempted to acquire ammunition.
