Firearms: Prohibited Armed Persons File.
Summary
Existing law requires the Attorney General to establish and maintain an online database, the Prohibited Armed Persons File, to cross-reference persons who have ownership or possession of a firearm on or after January 1, 1991, and who, subsequent to the date of that ownership or possession, fall within a class of persons who are prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. This bill would instead require that the Prohibited Armed Persons File include persons who have ownership or possession of a firearm on or after January 1, 1996. The bill would also make conforming changes.
