Juvenile Offenders. 65 expands the scope of the existing law prohibiting a juvenile adjudicated of specified offenses from possessing any firearm until the age of 30. Specifically, AB 1315 prohibits a juvenile adjudicated of specified offenses from possessing a firearm until the age of 30, or for 10 years after release from the custody and control of the juvenile court, whichever date is later. AB 1315 also requires the juvenile court to notify the Depart- ment of Justice (DOJ) when a juvenile, subject to the firearms prohibition, is released from the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. According to the author, This bill ensures that the current prohibition on owning or possessing a firearm is imposed for a significant amount of time and with greater uniformity. This bill accomplishes this by requiring that the prohibition applies until the juvenile offender is 30 years of age or 10 years have elapsed from the release from custody, whichever is greater.

Staff: Natasha Fooman, Status: SenApps, Position: Support. SB 824 (Scott). Firearms. SB 824 is intended to repeal and recast the provisions of law pertaining to licensed firearms dealers "security" requirements in cities and counties with smaller populations. SB 824 allows licensing authorities to impose greater security requirements than required in state law to authorize firearms dealers to: require employees of dealers to obtain background checks involving a Certificate of Eligibility; and, specifically requires that dealers prohibit specified employees from possessing fire- arms or have access to firearms. According to the Attorney general, "The size of the city or county where a firearm dealership is located is not an accurate predictor of whether or not firearms are likely to be stolen from the dealership and therefore should not be the criteria by which the security is determined. All firearms dealerships within this state should be subjected to the same security require- ments." Supported by: Attorney General (sponsor), California Peace Officers Association.
