Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows people previously convicted of certain nonviolent felony crimes to have their firearm possession rights restored. To be eligible, 10 years must have passed since they completed their sentence, and they must not have been convicted of other specific crimes, including violent offenses. If approved, the Department of Public Safety would review their history, and a court would issue an order restoring their right to own firearms.
