AI Summary
This bill, known as the Firearm Preservation Act, prohibits law enforcement agencies from destroying or rendering inoperable firearms they acquire through methods like court orders, estate settlements, or forfeitures. Instead, these firearms must be retained and then auctioned exclusively to individuals legally permitted to own them, with handgun purchasers undergoing a criminal history record check. Proceeds from these auctions are to be used by the law enforcement agency for operational expenses or training, and the transfer of firearms must comply with all state and federal regulations. The bill also shields law enforcement agencies and their personnel from civil or criminal liability for any harm caused by firearms subsequently used by eligible buyers. Law enforcement agencies are required to maintain records of auctioned firearms for at least five years, and violations of these provisions will result in fines, with subsequent offenses incurring higher penalties, and all collected fines will be deposited into the General Revenue Fund. This act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
