	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1369, as introduced, Runner. Firearms: prohibited persons.
   Existing law makes it a crime for certain persons to own,
purchase, receive, or possess a firearm, including, among other
persons, persons convicted of a felony, persons who are addicted to
the use of a narcotic drug, persons convicted of specified violent
offenses, persons who have been adjudicated by a court of any state
to be a danger to others as a result of a mental disorder or mental
illness, and persons who have been admitted to a facility, are
receiving inpatient treatment, and, in the opinion of the attending
health professional who is primarily responsible for the patients'
treatment, are a danger to himself or herself or others.
   This bill would require the Department of Justice, if the
department determines that a person prohibited from owning,
purchasing, receiving, or possessing a firearm by the provisions
described above has attempted to acquire a firearm, to notify the
local law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction over the area
in which the person was last known to reside.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
