Introduced
by
To establish that state databases containing information on licenses issued to individuals to purchase, carry, possess, or transport pistols are confidential and not subject to disclosure under the state Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The bill was introduced after a New York newspaper published the names and addresses of gun owners it acquired from a state database (New York has since banned releasing this information).
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-3) be adopted and that the bill then pass.

The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to House Bill 4774, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. HB 4774 would expand to all gun purchases, including rifles and shotguns, a state pistol purchase “license” mandate.
The amendment failed by voice vote
Passed in the House 81 to 28 (details)
To restrict access to a non-public database of applicants for a concealed pistol license to requests made using a state Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) or another system that maintains a record of who asked and when, and require the requestor asking about a particular individual to attest that the records are sought for a lawful purpose. This would somewhat broaden access to these already nonpublic records, but the bill is part of a legislative package that makes all state firearms databases confidential and not subject to disclosure under the state Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); see House Bill 5327.
