SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Firearms and ammunition; temporary seizure; penalty. Provides that certain persons shall be required to report to law enforcement whenever they see, hear, receive, or otherwise have communicated to them that an individual intends to inflict death or serious bodily injury on himself or any other person. Failure to provide such report for threats involving violent felonies shall be a Class 1 misdemeanor. Failure to provide such report for threats that do not involve violent felonies shall subject the person to a fine up to $500 for the first failure and to a fine of at least $1,000 for each subsequent failure. The bill also provides that law-enforcement officers may temporarily seize the firearm or ammunition of an individual who indicates his intent to inflict death or serious bodily injury on himself or another person. The bill's reporting requirement shall be the basis of the temporary seizure of a firearm or ammunition in the possession of, owned by, or in the immediate access of an individual who is the subject of the report. Finally, the bill provides the procedure by which law enforcement may temporarily seize the firearm or ammunition of an individual who is the subject of these reports.
