A bill for an act relating to use of and reporting requirements related to forfeited weapons.

HF 2138 clarifies how Iowa law enforcement must handle forfeited weapons and ammunition. It requires that all seized weapons and ammunition be deposited with the Iowa Department of Public Safety, which may use them for law enforcement, testing, or destroy them, or sell non-illegal weapons (not classified as offensive weapons) to other agencies. The bill also mandates an annual audit by the Department to track all forfeited weapons, documenting their use and location. This affects law enforcement agencies and the Department of Public Safety in managing seized items. The changes update current procedures for disposal and reporting of forfeited weapons.
