Requires notification of firearm denials to local law enforcement and the local prosecutor having jurisdiction where the prohibited person sought to acquire the firearm
What changed between versions
The deadline for local law enforcement to initiate a criminal investigation after receiving a firearm denial report was changed from 'within twenty-four hours' to 'within two business days'. This provides agencies with a slightly longer, more practical timeframe to begin their review.
The requirement for local law enforcement to 'conduct' a criminal investigation was changed to 'initiate' a criminal investigation. This adjustment clarifies that the agency must start the process within the specified timeframe, without necessarily implying the investigation must be fully completed immediately.
The phrase 'location where' was changed to 'location wherein' in the description of the prosecutor's jurisdiction. This is a stylistic legal refinement that does not alter the substantive meaning of the law.
A minor formatting correction was made to the bill title, changing 'Assem-' to 'Assembly' to fix a line break error.
