	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2300, as introduced, Ridley-Thomas. Firearms: Prohibited Armed
Persons File.
   Existing law requires the Attorney General to establish and
maintain an online database, the Prohibited Armed Persons File, to
cross-reference persons who have ownership or possession of a firearm
on or after January 1, 1991, and who, subsequent to the date of that
ownership or possession, fall within a class of persons who are
prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm.
   This bill would instead require that the Prohibited Armed Persons
File include persons who have ownership or possession of a firearm on
or after January 1, 1996.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 30000 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   30000.  (a) The Attorney General shall establish and maintain an
online database to be known as the Prohibited Armed Persons File. The
purpose of the file is to cross-reference persons who have ownership
or possession of a firearm on or after January 1,  1991,
  1996,  as indicated by a record in the
Consolidated Firearms Information System, and who, subsequent to the
date of that ownership or possession of a firearm, fall within a
class of persons who are prohibited from owning or possessing a
firearm.
   (b) The information contained in the Prohibited Armed Persons File
shall only be available to those entities specified in, and pursuant
to, subdivision (b) or (c) of Section 11105, through the California
Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, for the purpose of
determining if persons are armed and prohibited from possessing
firearms.
