WEAPONS/FIREARMS: Provides for the creation of the "Louisiana Voluntary Do Not Sell List"
HB 563 creates a voluntary "Louisiana Voluntary Do Not Sell List" allowing individuals to request prohibition from firearm purchases. People can join by submitting verified forms to courts, healthcare providers, or the state police, triggering automatic entry into background check systems within 24 hours. Removal requires a 7-day wait period or an expedited court hearing to confirm the request was voluntary, with all records kept confidential except for law enforcement or criminal proceedings. The law does not alter existing legal prohibitions but provides a self-imposed mechanism for individuals to restrict their own firearm access.
