Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits certain persons who are prohibited under current law from
possessing a firearm from possessing firearm ammunition, as well. Under current
law, a person may not possess a firearm if he or she is convicted of, or adjudicated
delinquent for, committing a felony, ordered not to possess a firearm upon being
committed for or receiving certain mental health or substance abuse treatment, or
subject to certain injunctions or restraining orders relating to abuse or harassment.
Under the bill, a person who may not possess a firearm may not possess firearm
ammunition. A person who does so is guilty of a Class I felony, and may be fined up
to $10,000, imprisoned for up to three years and six month, or both.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
