Bill > S04126

This bill amends New York state law to require a purchaser of any firearm, rifle, or shotgun to submit to a mental health evaluation and obtain approval from the Office of Mental Health before making the purchase. The bill establishes an administrative process within the Office of Mental Health to conduct these mental health evaluations, and allows for the denial of a purchase to be reviewed through court proceedings. Additionally, the bill makes it a crime for someone to knowingly purchase or dispose of a firearm, rifle, or shotgun without the required mental health evaluation approval.
