AB 1743: Firearms.
What AB 1743 does, verified August 25, 2026
This bill aims to expand the availability of information on recovered firearms for research purposes. The existing law requires law enforcement to report stolen or recovered firearms to the Department of Justice. The new law would allow this information to be shared with specified entities, including local governments, state agencies, and educational institutions, under guidelines set by the Attorney General. These entities would be able to request the information in a format that meets their needs. The information would be maintained for at least 10 years and made available for academic and policy research.
