SB 1137 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Weapons: concealed; sale of weapons seized by a law enforcement agency under 1927 PA 372; prohibit. Amends secs. 14 & 14a of 1927 PA 372 (MCL 28.434 & 28.434a).

This bill modifies Michigan laws regarding the disposal of firearms seized by law enforcement agencies. It allows these agencies to either auction the weapons to licensed dealers for law enforcement use, keep them for official use by peace officers, or forward them to the state police for disposal. Before any firearm is discarded, the agency must check if it was reported lost or stolen and provide a 30-day notice to potential owners and the public, allowing authorized individuals to claim the weapon. The legislation also grants immunity from civil lawsuits to agencies that follow these disposal procedures and requires them to keep detailed records of any sales for at least seven years.
