SB 23-022

Senate Bill 23-022, which has been signed into law, adds aggravated motor vehicle theft to the list of offenses that prevent a person from owning or possessing firearms. This means that anyone convicted of aggravated motor vehicle theft will now be prohibited from having guns, just like those with other serious felony convictions already are. The bill affects individuals who have committed this specific crime and could impact their ability to legally own firearms in the future. Since it has been signed, the law is now in effect.
