What is CA SB 1220 about?

Existing law, subject to exceptions, provides that any person who has been convicted of certain misdemeanors may not, within 10 years of the conviction, own, purchase, receive, possess or have under their custody or control, any firearm and makes a violation of that prohibition punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony. Under existing law, a person who alters, removes, or obliterates, or who buys, receives, disposes of, sells, offers for sale, or has in possession any pistol, revolver, or other firearm that has had the name of the maker or model or the manufacturer's number or other mark of identification changed, altered, removed, or obliterated is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would prohibit a person, who is convicted on or after January 1, 2027, of the above prohibition, from owning, purchasing, receiving, or having in their possession or under their custody or control any firearm within 10 years of the conviction. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, the bill would create a state-mandated local program. This bill would provide that the provisions of this bill are severable. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 29805 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1753 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1753 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
