Relating to requiring a person convicted of an offense involving family violence or a person who is the subject of a family violence protective order to surrender firearms owned by the person.

HB 498 requires individuals convicted of family violence offenses or subject to a family violence protective order to surrender any firearms they own. This law directly affects people in these specific legal situations by mandating the transfer of their firearms to law enforcement. The key provision is a mandatory surrender requirement for all firearms owned by these individuals, removing their access to weapons. The bill aims to reduce firearm-related risks in domestic violence situations through this concrete policy change. (Note: Bill is pending committee review as of February 2025.)
