Firearms.

Existing law regulates the transfer of firearms by firearms dealers. Existing law requires the firearms dealer to submit information to the Department of Justice for purposes of a background check for purchasers of firearms. Existing law provides that whenever a dealer is notified by the department that a person is prohibited by state or federal law from processing, owning, purchasing, or receiving a firearm, the dealer shall make available to the person a prohibited notice and transfer form, provided by the department, stating that the person is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm, and that the person may obtain from the department the reason for the prohibition. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those notice provisions.
