What this bill does
The bill would make the records law enforcement keeps for firearms stored under the voluntary safe harbor program private rather than public, and would destroy a record once a person picks up their firearm. It would also require law enforcement agencies to report anonymized firearm storage data to the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, which compiles it and reports to a legislative interim committee.
