AB 165 (Gabriel) Peace officer training: gun violence restraining orders
AB 165 (Gabriel) Existing law authorizes law enforcement to petition the court for a Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO), which allows for a temporary firearm prohibition when a person is at risk of harm to themselves or others by having a firearm.

AB 61 (Ting) Expands Petitioners for a Gun Violence Restraining Order
California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) law allows law enforcement and immediate family members to petition the court to obtain a temporary firearm and ammunition prohibition when a person is at risk of injury to themselves or others by having a firearm. AB 61 authorizes a person’s employer, coworker, or an employee or teacher of a secondary or postsecondary school that the person has attended in the last six months, to file a petition for a temporary or one-year GVRO. The bill requires coworker petitioners to have had substantial and regular interactions with the person for at least one year and obtain the approval of the employer; school employees or teachers seeking a GVRO must obtain the approval of a school administrator or administration staff with a supervisorial role. Those who teach or work with a person and have frequent interaction may see the early warning signs and be the first to know that the person is at severe risk of dangerousness. These people need the ability to directly petition the court for a GVRO.

AB 164 (Cervantes) Out-of-state Restraining Orders
Existing law prevents California courts from enforcing firearm prohibitions that accompany restraining or protective orders issued by courts in other states. AB 164 closes this dangerous loophole by allowing California courts to enforce firearm prohibitions that are part of orders issued by an out-of-state jurisdiction if the order is similar or equivalent to a temporary restraining order, injunction, or protective order issued in California. Subjects of similar out-of-state orders will thus be prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm in California and law enforcement will be able to disarm these individuals.

AB 339 requires law enforcement agencies in California to develop, adopt, and implement written policies and standards relating to the GVRO. These polices and standards must be consistent with any GVRO training administered by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) and include standards and procedures for requesting the three types of GVROs, seizing firearms and ammunition and verifying their removal, obtaining and serving a search warrant, attending the hearings, and requesting renewals.

AB 879 requires the sale or transfer of firearm precursor parts (unfinished frames or receivers) to be conducted by a licensed firearm precursor parts vendor. Commencing July 1, 2025, the vendor must electronically submit buyer information to Cal DOJ so that a background check can be completed by cross-checking existing databases. The bill also requires vendors to submit records of sales and transfers of firearm precursor parts to CAL DOJ, which must retain the records. Additionally, AB 879 prohibits possession of a firearm precursor part by a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm and prohibits the transfer of such parts to a person under 21 years of age. The bill will prevent the purchase of unfinished frames or receivers by persons prohibited from possessing firearms and curb the acquisition of untraceable self-assembled “ghost” guns.

AB 1292 (BAUER-KAHAN) Operation of Law Firearm Transfers
Under existing law, most firearm transfers between private parties must be processed through a licensed firearm dealer and include a background check, waiting period, record, and firearm safety certificate requirement for the new owner. However, under the operation of law process, various categories of persons can take possession of firearms without conducting the transfer though a firearm dealer, but the person cannot be prohibited from possessing firearms and must register the firearm with Cal DOJ. AB 1292 adds to the categories of persons able to take title or possession of a firearm by operation of law, including an executor or personal representative of an estate, trustee, and a person acting as power of attorney, conservator, or guardian. The bill also explicitly allows persons who find firearms, or remove firearms from individuals using a firearm to commit a crime against the person, to take possession and transport the gun to law enforcement for disposition. Allowing persons to take possession of firearms by operation of law can facilitate the relinquishment of firearms by criminals with a firearm prohibition or, for example, the removal of firearms from a person with dementia.

AB 1297 (McCarty) Concealed Carry Permit Fees
Under existing law, a county sheriff or municipal police chief may issue a license to carry a handgun capable of being concealed upon the person (CCW license). The licensing authority may charge a fee for the actual cost of processing the application, not to exceed $100. The lack of clear guidelines in statute, as well as the permissible maximum fee, have resulted in some licensing authorities charging inadequate fees to cover the cost of issuing and overseeing the CCW license. This has necessitated local governments to divert funds to cover the shortfall. AB 1297 requires the local licensing authority to charge the fee, which must include the costs of issuing the CCW license and enforcement of the license. The bill removes the prohibition on charging more than $100.

California’s existing Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) law allows law enforcement and immediate family members to petition the court to obtain a temporary firearm and ammunition prohibition when a person is at risk of injury to themselves or others by having a firearm. AB 1493 allows the subject of a GVRO petition to submit a form to the court voluntarily relinquishing their firearm rights and stating that the subject is not contesting the petition. If such a form is filed, the bill requires the court to issue a GVRO. AB 1493 streamlines the GVRO process for those who want to cooperate and mitigates unnecessary clogging of the courts.

SB 172 (Portantino) Strengthens Firearm Storage Laws
Under existing law, it is a crime to keep a loaded firearm where a child is likely to gain access to it. SB 172 bill will make this crime apply to an unloaded firearm as well. Existing law also requires persons who resides in the same residence with another person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm to keep their firearms secure or inaccessible. Further, existing law makes it a crime to keep a handgun where a child or prohibited person is likely to gain access and carry the handgun off premises. SB 172 will make these laws applicable to any firearm, including long guns. The bill will impose a 10-year firearm prohibition on those who are convicted of violating these storage laws. Additionally, SB 172 allows for the loan of a firearm to a person for safekeeping to prevent it from being used to attempt suicide. Certain conditions must be met, including keeping the firearm unloaded and secure in the residence of the person receiving the firearm, who may not use the firearm for any purpose. SB 172 also requires that firearms and ammunition brought to licensed community care or residential care facilities be centrally stored unloaded in a locked gun safe, with ammunition stored separately in a locked location. The firearm storage requirements under SB 172 will help keep firearms out of the wrong hands, including children, and lessen suicidal, homicidal, and unintentional shootings.

SB 376 also updates existing law by exempting gun buy-backs, trust beneficiaries, dealers ceasing operation, and others from requirements of transferring firearms through a licensed dealer. The bill repeals the waiting period exemption for charitable auctions. Finally, SB 376 requires anybody manufacturing 50 or more firearms a year to be licensed as a manufacturer, instead of the current threshold of 100 firearms. The bill will help

AJR 4 (Aguiar-Curry) – Resolution Regarding Federal Background Checks Legislation SUPPORT AJR 4 urges the United States Congress to swiftly enact HR 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. Weak federal laws undermine California’s stronger gun laws. Congress must act to reduce gun violence by bringing effective, common sense firearm policy to the whole country, such as a background check for every firearm sale.

AB 61 (Ting) Expands Petitioners for a Gun Violence Restraining Order
California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) law allows law enforcement and immediate family members to petition the court to obtain a temporary firearm and ammunition prohibition when a person is at risk of injury to themselves or others by having a firearm. AB 61 authorizes a person’s employer, coworker, or an employee or teacher of a secondary or postsecondary school that the person has attended in the last six months, to file a petition for a temporary or one-year GVRO. The bill requires coworker petitioners to have had substantial and regular interactions with the person for at least one year and obtain the approval of the employer; school employees or teachers seeking a GVRO must obtain the approval of a school administrator or administration staff with a supervisorial role. Those who teach or work with a person and have frequent interaction may see the early warning signs and be the first to know that the person is at severe risk of dangerousness. These people need the ability to directly petition the court for a GVRO.

AB 164 (Cervantes) Out-of-state Restraining Orders
Existing law prevents California courts from enforcing firearm prohibitions that accompany restraining or protective orders issued by courts in other states. AB 164 closes this dangerous loophole by allowing California courts to enforce firearm prohibitions that are part of orders issued by an out-of-state jurisdiction if the order is similar or equivalent to a temporary restraining order, injunction, or protective order issued in California. Subjects of similar out-of-state orders will thus be prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm in California and law enforcement will be able to disarm these individuals.

Existing law authorizes law enforcement to petition the court for a Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO), which allows for a temporary firearm prohibition when a person is at risk of harm to themselves or others by having a firearm. AB 339 requires law enforcement agencies in California to develop, adopt, and implement written policies and standards relating to the GVRO. These polices and standards must be consistent with any GVRO training administered by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) and include standards and procedures for requesting the three types of GVROs, seizing firearms and ammunition and verifying their removal, obtaining and serving a search warrant, attending the hearings, and requesting renewals. The bill also encourages the t
The bill will facilitate use of the GVRO by law enforcement.

AB 879 (Gipson) Firearm Precursor Parts Regulations
AB 879 requires the sale or transfer of firearm precursor parts (unfinished frames or receivers) to be conducted by a licensed firearm precursor parts vendor. Commencing July 1, 2025, the vendor must electronically submit buyer information to Cal DOJ so that a background check can be completed by cross-checking existing databases. The bill also requires vendors to submit records of sales and transfers of firearm precursor parts to CAL DOJ, which must retain the records. Additionally, AB 879 prohibits possession of a firearm precursor part by a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm and prohibits the transfer of such parts to a person under 21 years of age. The bill will prevent the purchase of unfinished frames or receivers by persons prohibited from possessing firearms and curb the acquisition of untraceable self-assembled “ghost” guns.

AB 1292 (BAUER-KAHAN) Operation of Law Firearm Transfers
Under existing law, most firearm transfers between private parties must be processed through a licensed firearm dealer and include a background check, waiting period, record, and firearm safety certificate requirement for the new owner. However, under the operation of law process, various categories of persons can take possession of firearms without conducting the transfer though a firearm dealer, but the person cannot be prohibited from possessing firearms and must register the firearm with Cal DOJ. AB 1292 adds to the categories of persons able to take title or possession of a firearm by operation of law, including an executor or personal representative of an estate, trustee, and a person acting as power of attorney, conservator, or guardian. The bill also explicitly allows persons who find firearms, or remove firearms from individuals using a firearm to commit a crime against the person, to take possession and transport the gun to law enforcement for disposition. Allowing persons to take possession of firearms by operation of law can facilitate the relinquishment of firearms by criminals with a firearm prohibition or, for example, the removal of firearms from a person with dementia.

AB 1297 (McCarty) Concealed Carry Permit Fees
Under existing law, a county sheriff or municipal police chief may issue a license to carry a handgun capable of being concealed upon the person (CCW license). The licensing authority may charge a fee for the actual cost of processing the application, not to exceed $100. The lack of clear guidelines in statute, as well as the permissible maximum fee, have resulted in some licensing authorities charging inadequate fees to cover the cost of issuing and overseeing the CCW license. This has necessitated local governments to divert funds to cover the shortfall. AB 1297 requires the local licensing authority to charge the fee, which must include the costs of issuing the CCW license and enforcement of the license. The bill removes the prohibition on charging more than $100.

California’s existing Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) law allows law enforcement and immediate family members to petition the court to obtain a temporary firearm and ammunition prohibition when a person is at risk of injury to themselves or others by having a firearm. AB 1493 allows the subject of a GVRO petition to submit a form to the court voluntarily relinquishing their firearm rights and stating that the subject is not contesting the petition. If such a form is filed, the bill requires the court to issue a GVRO. AB 1493 streamlines the GVRO process for those who want to cooperate and mitigates unnecessary clogging of the courts.

SB 172 (Portantino) Strengthens Firearm Storage Laws
Under existing law, it is a crime to keep a loaded firearm where a child is likely to gain access to it. SB 172 bill will make this crime apply to an unloaded firearm as well. Existing law also requires persons who resides in the same residence with another person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm to keep their firearms secure or inaccessible. Further, existing law makes it a crime to keep a handgun where a child or prohibited person is likely to gain access and carry the handgun off premises. SB 172 will make these laws applicable to any firearm, including long guns. The bill will impose a 10-year firearm prohibition on those who are convicted of violating these storage laws. Additionally, SB 172 allows for the loan of a firearm to a person for safekeeping to prevent it from being used to attempt suicide. Certain conditions must be met, including keeping the firearm unloaded and secure in the residence of the person receiving the firearm, who may not use the firearm for any purpose. SB 172 also requires that firearms and ammunition brought to licensed community care or residential care facilities be centrally stored unloaded in a locked gun safe, with ammunition stored separately in a locked location. The firearm storage requirements under SB 172 will help keep firearms out of the wrong hands, including children, and lessen suicidal, homicidal, and unintentional shootings.

Finally, SB 376 requires anybody manufacturing 50 or more firearms a year to be licensed as a manufacturer, instead of the current threshold of 100 firearms. The bill will help
