Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO STOLEN PROPERTY; PROVIDING THAT THE FAILURE TO VERIFY THAT A FIREARM WAS NOT STOLEN IS PRESUMED TO BE KNOWLEDGE BY THE RECIPIENT OF THE FIREARM THAT THE FIREARM WAS STOLEN.
AI Summary
This bill amends an existing New Mexico law on receiving stolen property. It adds a new provision that creates a presumption of knowledge that a firearm is stolen if the recipient fails to verify with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that the firearm was not stolen before receiving it. This change aims to hold individuals accountable for not taking reasonable steps to ensure they are not acquiring stolen firearms.
