What’s in it
This bill relates to lost or stolen firearms. The bill requires the owner of a firearm to report a lost or stolen firearm to the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the place where the firearm is believed to have been lost or stolen within hours of discovering that the firearm has been lost or stolen. A person who violates the bill commits a simple misdemeanor punishable with a scheduled fine in the amount of $50.
