SB 1046 updates Wisconsin's firearm laws by requiring courts to notify the Department of Justice when ordering someone not to possess firearms, ensuring accurate background checks and restrictions. It creates a new permit requirement for firearm dealers (20.455 (2) (gs)) and mandates law enforcement agencies to submit recovered firearms to the eTrace system within 48 hours for ballistics analysis. The bill also revises court notification procedures across multiple statutes to limit disclosure of court records to only necessary firearm restriction information. These changes directly affect courts, law enforcement, firearm dealers, and individuals subject to firearm restrictions.
