Bill > SB217

This bill creates the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a minor. Specifically, it prohibits a person under 18 years old from knowingly possessing a concealable firearm, handgun, or ammunition, except when the minor is at an approved shooting range or under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or other adult. The bill also addresses the confiscation and disposal of firearms and ammunition used in the commission of a felony, and specifies that firearms and ammunition possessed by a minor in violation of the new law should be returned to the lawful owner if the minor's possession becomes unlawful solely due to the minor's conduct, rather than being permanently confiscated.
