AI Summary
This bill creates a new voluntary firearm restriction list in Kentucky called the "Voluntary Kentucky Do Not Sell List". The key provisions are:
1. Individuals can voluntarily request to be placed on the list, which prohibits them from purchasing or possessing firearms for a specified period. This triggers the suspension of any concealed carry licenses they may have.
2. Individuals can request to be removed from the list after 90 days or to remain on the list longer. Their firearms can also be voluntarily committed to law enforcement for safe storage or permanent surrender.
3. The information and records related to the list are kept confidential and not subject to open records requests. The Department of Kentucky State Police and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services are required to develop public awareness campaigns about the list.
4. Penalties are established for noncompliance, such as attempting to purchase a firearm while on the list (a Class B misdemeanor) or knowingly transferring a firearm to someone on the list (a Class A misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class D felony for subsequent offenses).
