Reporting Lost or Stolen Firearms

Summary

The bill creates a new Florida statute that obligates anyone who owns or lawfully possesses a firearm to notify the local law‑enforcement agency within 48 hours when the gun is lost or stolen, and to provide basic details about the weapon and the incident. Police must then file an incident report and give the reporter a free copy, and owners must inform the agency within 48 hours if the firearm is later recovered. The measure was intended to improve tracking of missing guns but did not pass.
