California Legislation for 2014

Status	Text	Bill	Summary	Impact
DEAD	Text	SB47	Assault weapon ban	Was not reactivated in 2014, probably due to its author's criminal charges.
DEAD	Text	SB53	Ammunition purchase permits	Died in assembly, 8/30/14.
DEAD	Text	SB108	Additional storage restrictions	Not reactivated in 2014.
SIGNED	Text	SB199	Restrictions on Airsoft guns	Mere possession remains acceptable; transport/etc requires coloration after 1/1/2016.
DEAD	Text	SB293	Mandate "smart guns"	Deems any non-owner-authorized handgun as unsafe / unrosterable. Was not reactivated in 2014.
UNRELATED	Text	396	Originally, mag possession ban.	Bill recycled via "Gut and Amend". Despite original language, signed bill has nothing to do with firearms.
VETOED	Text	SB808	Require registration of all post-'68 unserialized guns	This would have required anyone building a gun to register it with a serial number obtained from the DOJ.
DEAD	Text	SB916	Handgun roster expansion	Would have allowed cosmetic variants of handguns to be covered by the CA handgun roster if the base model is covered. Would have alleviated the need for manufacturers to submit every variation of guns, including by finish color or sights, for mechanical function testing.
DEAD	Text	AB232	Gun buyback program	Reactivated from 2013 - gun buyback programs
SIGNED	Text	AB1014	Gun Violence Restraining Orders	Starting 1/1/2016, people may become prohibited persons without having committed a crime, as long as a judge and police officer can be convinced to sign an order. Violation while restrained (by so much as one stray round of ammunition in your garage) carries up to a five year sentence.
SIGNED	Text	AB1591	Require courts to report prohibited person status	Requires courts to report to DOJ if someone becomes a prohibited person within one court day. This ensures that the Prohibited Person list is updated in a timely manner.
SIGNED	Text	AB1964	Redefinition of single-shot exemption.	Eliminates most common exemption used to acquire non-Rostered semi-automatic handguns in California.
SIGNED	Text	AB2300	Alters APPS database date from 1991 to 1996	Likely due to incomplete pre-96 records making compliance with the original bill impossible. Should be no negative effect on non-prohibited persons.
