Representative Espenoza and Representative Lindstedt, sponsors, presented Senate Bill 25-205. The bill allows federal firearms licensees (FFL) to request a serial number check from either their county sheriff’s office or police department, depending on where the FFL is located, prior to purchasing a firearm from an individual. The bill also allows an FFL to perform a firearm serial number search independently if the federal government allows an FFL access to the federal government's firearm tracing program. If an FFL reasonably believes, knows, should know, or becomes aware that a person sold or attempted to sell a firearm that is stolen, lost, or involved in an open criminal investigation, the dealer must report the information to law enforcement. Representative Lindstedt responded to questions from the committee. |
