BB devices.

Existing law provides that furnishing a BB device to a minor without the express or implied consent of the minor's parent or legal guardian is a misdemeanor. This bill would provide that any person who keeps a BB device within any premises that is under the person's custody or control, who knows or reasonably should know that a minor is likely to gain access to that BB device without the permission of the minor's parent or legal guardian, and a minor obtains access to that BB device and thereafter carries the BB device off-premises and openly displays or exposes the BB device in a public place in violation of provisions of existing law, may be subject to a written warning for the first instance, a civil fine of $100 for the 2nd instance, and a civil fine of $200 for the 3rd or subsequent instance. The bill would provide that a written warning or civil fine issued or imposed pursuant to these provisions may be imposed and administered only by a local governmental entity acting under the authority of a city, county, or city and county.
