Bill > HB2379

This bill establishes the Kansas Voluntary Do-Not-Sell Firearms List Act, which creates a mechanism for individuals 18 years and older to voluntarily prevent themselves from purchasing firearms. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) will maintain this list, which allows people to request placement through either the KBI directly or through a healthcare provider. Individuals must submit a photo ID and can request removal from the list at any time. When someone is placed on the list, the KBI will immediately notify the national instant criminal background check system and send a notification by mail. The bill includes privacy protections, making all list-related information confidential and only accessible to law enforcement or the individual themselves. The legislation also establishes legal protections against discrimination for individuals on the list and prohibits unauthorized inquiries about a person's list status. Violations of the act can result in a civil penalty of up to $500 or five hours of community service. The list is designed to provide a voluntary tool for individuals who wish to prevent themselves from purchasing firearms, potentially as a mental health or personal safety measure, and will be maintained in compliance with federal firearm regulations.
