Bill > SB5268

This bill amends existing law to impose community custody, which is a period of supervision by the department of corrections after release from confinement, for individuals convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm. Specifically, it adds unlawful possession of a firearm as a crime that triggers a one-year term of community custody, alongside other offenses like certain crimes against persons and felony drug offenses. This change is intended to address unlawful firearm possession, and the bill includes provisions for the amendment to expire and be replaced by a slightly different version on January 1, 2027, indicating a potential sunset clause or a phased implementation.
