Measure 5 Measure 5 Proposed by initiative petition to be voted on at the General Election, November 7, 2000. State law currently requires background check before gun dealer sells handgun.
Noncompliance creates criminal liability.
Expands crimes of providing false information, improper transfer, to include transfers of all firearms, not just handguns. There is no financial effect on local government expenditures or revenues. Sections 5 to 8 of this 2000 Act are added to and made a part of ORS 166.410 to 166.470. Notwithstanding the fact that ORS 166.412 requires a gun dealer to request a criminal history record check only when transferring a handgun, a gun dealer shall comply with the requirements of ORS 166.412 before transferring any firearm to a purchaser. The provisions of ORS 166.412 apply to the transfer of firearms other than handguns to the same extent that they apply to the transfer of handguns.
