Bill > HB125

This bill amends existing Kentucky law to enhance protections against firearms possession by individuals involved in domestic abuse. It defines key terms such as "domestic abuse offense," "domestic violence protective order," and "physical force" to clarify the scope of the new provisions. The bill creates new crimes for possessing a firearm by someone convicted of a domestic abuse offense or by someone subject to a domestic violence protective order, with violations classified as a Class C felony. It also mandates that individuals convicted of domestic abuse offenses or subject to protective orders must surrender their firearms within 24 hours to local law enforcement or the sheriff, and requires courts to inform these individuals of the firearm prohibition and transfer requirements. Furthermore, the bill amends existing laws regarding domestic violence orders and interpersonal protective orders to ensure courts inform the subject of these orders about the firearm possession prohibition and the procedures for transferring firearms.
