Weapons: firearms; sale of weapons seized by a law enforcement agency under the penal code; prohibit. Amends secs. 239 & 239a of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.239 & 750.239a).

This bill updates Michigan laws regarding the disposal of firearms seized by law enforcement agencies. It allows agencies to either auction or destroy these weapons through the state police department, or alternatively, sell them to licensed dealers or keep them for official use by peace officers. Before any disposal occurs, the law requires agencies to check if the gun was reported lost or stolen and to provide a 30-day public notice for owners to claim the firearm if they are legally eligible to possess it. The legislation also mandates that agencies keep detailed records of all sales for at least seven years and grants them immunity from civil lawsuits when following these procedures.
