Summary

The bill lets people convicted of specific non‑violent felonies regain the right to own or possess a gun once ten years have passed since they completed all sentences. Eligibility excludes serious crimes such as murder, robbery, assault on officers, and sex trafficking, and any new felony revokes the restored right. It requires a formal application to the Department of Public Safety and a court order to restore the rights.
