IN RE: |
HB2454 by Guillen (Relating to procuring a firearm for person prohibited to possessing a firearm; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would expand conduct constituting unlawful transfer of certain weapons to include knowingly acquiring a firearm for a person that is prohibited from possessing a firearm under state or federal law and make the offense punishable as a state jail felony.
It is assumed that any fiscal impact or any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant. While it is assumed that any state revenue impact would not be significant, it would be dependent on the number of offenses committed and the associated court costs.
