   An act to amend Section 27880 of the Penal Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1511, Santiago. Firearms: lending.
   Existing law generally requires the loan of a firearm to be
conducted through a licensed firearms dealer. A violation of this
provision is a crime. Existing law exempts from this requirement a
loan of a firearm between persons who are personally known to each
other, if the loan is infrequent and does not exceed 30 days in
duration.
   This bill would instead limit that exemption to the loan of a
firearm to a spouse or registered domestic partner, or to a parent,
child, sibling, grandparent, or grandchild, related as specified. The
bill would require a handgun loaned pursuant to these provisions to
be registered to the person loaning the handgun. By expanding the
application of an existing crime, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 27880 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   27880.  Section 27545 does not apply to the loan of a firearm if
all of the following requirements are satisfied:
   (a) The loan is to a spouse, registered domestic partner, or any
of the following relations, whether by consanguinity, adoption, or
steprelation:
   (1) Parent.
   (2) Child.
   (3) Sibling.
    (4) Grandparent.
    (5) Grandchild.
   (b) The loan is infrequent, as defined in Section 16730.
   (c) The loan is for any lawful purpose.
   (d) The loan does not exceed 30 days in duration.
   (e) Until January 1, 2015, if the firearm is a handgun, the
individual being loaned the firearm shall have a valid handgun safety
certificate. Commencing January 1, 2015, for any firearm, the
individual being loaned the firearm shall have a valid firearm safety
certificate, except that in the case of a handgun, an unexpired
handgun safety certificate may be used.
   (f) If the firearm being loaned is a handgun, the handgun is
registered to the person making the loan pursuant to Section 11106.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
