AB 232 California Assembly · 2013-2014 Regular Session

Firearms: buyback program.

Summary

Existing law requires the surrender of certain weapons to the sheriff of a county or chief of police of a municipal police department and allows an officer to whom weapons are surrendered to offer the weapons for sale at public auction. If the weapon is not of a type that can be sold to the public, existing law requires that the weapon be destroyed so that it can no longer be used as a weapon. This bill would establish the Gun Buyback Program in the Department of Justice, which would consist of local buyback programs administered by police or sheriff departments, as specified, that would be funded up to 50% by funds administered by the Department of Justice. The local programs would purchase firearms and, except as specified, destroy the firearms, as prescribed.
