HF 2609 Minnesota House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Gun trafficking investigations and firearm seizures report required by Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Violent Crime Enforcement Teams, trigger activator definition amended, and transferring firearms to persons who are ineligible to possess firearms penalties increased.

This bill requires the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Violent Crime Enforcement Teams to submit an annual report detailing their gun trafficking investigations, the number of firearms seized, and how funding for violent crime reduction was utilized. It also updates the legal definition of a "trigger activator" to include devices that allow a firearm to fire multiple shots with a single trigger pull or without requiring a subsequent pull. Additionally, the legislation increases penalties for transferring firearms to individuals who are legally ineligible to possess them, raising the maximum prison sentence from two years to five years if the weapon is used in a violent felony within a year of the transfer.
