IN RE:
HB3030 by Flynn (Relating to the reporting of certain information for purposes of a federal firearm background check.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to federal firearm reporting.  Under the provisions of the bill, the definition of persons prohibited from owning a firearm is expanded, and specific changes are made to the procedure for federal firearm reporting.

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.
