An Act authorizing the voluntary disavowal of eligibility to purchase a firearm

This bill allows individuals with diagnosed depression who feel suicidal to voluntarily give up their right to purchase firearms. People can submit a form at hospitals or emergency facilities (after being assessed by a clinician) to be added to a confidential list, preventing firearm sellers from selling to them. The list is kept private (not public record) and shared only with licensed firearm sellers, who face penalties for violating the restriction. Individuals can also petition a court to have their name removed from the list later. It directly affects people with mental health concerns who choose this option and firearm sellers.
