SB912: Emergency custody orders; temporary firearms restriction orders.
SENATE BILL NO. 912 Offered January 14, 2015 Prefiled January 8, 2015 A BILL to amend and reenact §§ 18.2-308.09 and 18.2-308.013 of the Code of Virginia and to amend the Code of Virginia by adding sections numbered 18.2-308.1:6 and 37.2-808.1, relating to emergency custody orders; temporary firearms restriction orders.
5. An individual who is subject to a restraining order, or to a protective order and prohibited by § 18.2-308.1:4 from purchasing or transporting a firearm.
16. An individual whose previous convictions or adjudications of delinquency were based on an offense that would have been at the time of conviction a felony if committed by an adult under the laws of any state, the District of Columbia, the United States or its territories. For purposes of this disqualifier, only convictions occurring within 16 years following the later of the date of (i) the conviction or adjudication or (ii) release from any incarceration imposed upon such conviction or adjudication shall be deemed to be "previous convictions."
20. An individual who is subject to a temporary firearms restriction order issued pursuant to § 37.2-808.1 and prohibited by § 18.2-308.1:6 from purchasing, possessing, or transporting a firearm.
21. An individual, not otherwise ineligible pursuant to this article, with respect to whom, within the three-year period immediately preceding the application, upon a charge of any criminal offense set forth in Article 1 (§ 18.2-247 et seq.) or former § 18.2-248.1:1 or upon a charge of illegal possession or distribution of marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids, or any controlled substance under the laws of any state, the District of Columbia, or the United States or its territories, the trial court found that the facts of the case were sufficient for a finding of guilt and disposed of the case pursuant to § 18.2-251 or the substantially similar law of any other state, the District of Columbia, or the United States or its territories.
§ 18.2-308.013. Suspension or revocation of permit.
A. Any person convicted of an offense that would disqualify that person from obtaining a permit under § 18.2-308.09 or who violates subsection C of § 18.2-308.02 shall forfeit his permit for a concealed handgun and surrender it to the court. Upon receipt by the Central Criminal Records Exchange of a record of the arrest, conviction, or occurrence of any other event that would disqualify a person from obtaining a concealed handgun permit under § 18.2-308.09, the Central Criminal Records Exchange shall notify the court having issued the permit of such disqualifying arrest, conviction, or other event. Upon receipt of such notice of a conviction, the court shall revoke the permit of a person disqualified pursuant to this subsection, and shall promptly notify the State Police and the person whose permit was revoked of the revocation.
B. An individual who has a felony charge pending or a charge pending for an offense listed in subdivision 14 or 15 of § 18.2-308.09, holding a permit for a concealed handgun, may have the permit suspended by the court before which such charge is pending or by the court that issued the permit.
C. The court shall revoke the permit of any individual for whom it would be unlawful to purchase, possess, or transport a firearm under § 18.2-308.1:2 or 18.2-308.1:3, and shall promptly notify the State Police and the person whose permit was revoked of the revocation.
D. The court shall suspend the permit of any individual who is subject to a temporary firearms restriction order issued pursuant to § 37.2-808.1 for the duration of such order and shall promptly notify the State Police and the person whose permit was suspended of the suspension.
§ 18.2-308.1:6. Purchase, possession, or transportation of firearm by persons subject to temporary firearms restriction order; penalty.
A. No person who is subject to a temporary firearms restriction order entered pursuant to § 37.2-808.1 shall purchase, possess, or transport any firearm while such order is in effect. A violation of this section is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
B. Any person who is subject to a temporary firearms restriction order, at any time prior to the expiration of such order, may petition the general district court in the city or county in which he resides to restore his right to purchase, possess, or transport a firearm. A copy of the petition shall be mailed or delivered to the attorney for the Commonwealth for the jurisdiction where the petition was filed, who shall be entitled to respond and represent the interests of the Commonwealth. The court shall conduct a hearing if requested by either party. If the court determines, after receiving and considering evidence concerning the circumstances regarding the disability referred to in subsection A and the person's criminal history, treatment record, and reputation as developed through character witness statements, testimony, or other character evidence, that the person will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that the granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest, the court shall grant the petition. Any person denied relief by the general district court may petition the circuit court for a de novo review of the denial. Upon a grant of relief in any court, the court shall enter a written order granting the petition, in which event the provisions of subsection A do not apply. The clerk of court shall certify and forward forthwith to the Central Criminal Records Exchange, on a form provided by the Exchange, a copy of any such order.
C. As used in this section, "treatment record" includes copies of health records detailing the petitioner's psychiatric history, which shall include the records pertaining to the commitment or adjudication that is the subject of the request for relief pursuant to this section.
§ 37.2-808.1. Temporary firearms restriction order for persons under an emergency custody order.
Upon the issuance of an emergency custody order pursuant to § 37.2-808, the issuing magistrate shall also issue a temporary firearms restriction order that shall temporarily prohibit the purchase, possession, or transportation of any firearm by the person taken into custody pursuant to the emergency custody order. The order shall expire 90 days from the date of issuance. The issuing magistrate shall provide a copy of the order to the person taken into emergency custody, and shall promptly notify the State Police of the order.
2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation is $0 for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities and $0 for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
