Summary
Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary
Existing law requires law enforcement agencies to enter each firearm into the Department of Justice Automated Firearms System that has been reported stolen, lost, found, recovered, held for safekeeping, surrendered, relinquished, or under observation. Existing law requires these law enforcement agencies to report to the Department of Justice all available information necessary to identify and trace the history of all recovered firearms that are illegally possessed, have been used in a crime, or are suspected of having been used in a crime, within 7 calendar days of obtaining the information. Existing law requires that the information collected be maintained by the department for a period of not less than 10 years, and to be available, under guidelines set forth by the Attorney General, for academic and policy research purposes. Existing law also requires the department to, on an ongoing basis, analyze the information collected for patterns and trends relating to recovered firearms that have been illegally possessed, used in a crime, or suspected to have been used in a crime, including the leading sources and origins of those firearms.
This bill would clarify that the information relied on by the department for its analysis of patterns and trends be available, upon request, to any California town, city, county, or state government agency, the California State University, the University of California, or specified private postsecondary educational institutions in California, under conditions and format options set forth by the Attorney General, as specified.
