AB 2629: Firearms: prohibited persons.

Existing law prohibits certain persons who have been the subject of specified mental health determinations, including having been placed under conservatorship by a court, having been found mentally incompetent to stand trial, having been found not guilty of specified crimes due to reason of insanity, having been adjudicated by a court to be a danger to others as a result of a mental disorder or mental illness, or having been adjudicated to be a mentally disordered sex offender, from possessing or receiving a firearm, as specified.

Existing law removes this prohibition from a person who was found mentally incompetent to stand trial but is subsequently restored to competence, as specified.

This bill would, commencing on September 1, 2025, specify that this prohibition also applies to persons found mentally incompetent to stand trial in a postrelease community supervision or parole revocation hearing.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 8103 of the Welfare and Institutions Code proposed by SB 1002 and SB 1025 to be operative only if this bill and either one or both of those bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
