| IN RE: | HB1713 by Ramos (Relating to requiring a person convicted of an offense involving family violence or a felony or a person who is the subject of a protective order to surrender firearms owned by the person.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes as they relate to criminal procedure and protective orders. Under the provisions of the bill, individuals with certain convictions or individuals who are the subject of a protective order would be required to surrender firearms owned.
This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
