2nd Redraft Amendment 48

Quantifying Lost or Stolen Firearms

Ms. Chang-Diaz moves to amend the bill in line 569 by inserting after the word “issuance” the following words:-

“as well as space to specify the number of such firearms lost or stolen”;

and, in section 37, by striking out the last sentence and inserting in place thereof the following 2 sentences:-

“Failure to so report shall be a cause for suspension or permanent revocation of a person's firearm identification card or license to carry firearms, or both.  Notwithstanding this paragraph or any general or specific law to the contrary, no person, who in good faith, reports a loss or theft under this paragraph for the first time shall be subject to suspension, revocation or be considered unsuitable under section 131 for the renewal of a lawfully held firearm identification card or license to carry firearms; provided, however, that persons reporting loss or theft under this paragraph or under section 129B on a second or subsequent occasion may be subject to suspension, revocation or be considered unsuitable under section 131 for the renewal of a lawfully held firearm identification card or license to carry firearms.”
