Firearms; prohibiting the destruction of historic military weapons; effective date.

House Bill 1185 amends existing law regarding the disposition of seized property by sheriff's offices and campus police agencies.

Instead, it mandates that such historic military weapons be donated to local units of veterans' organizations. This change affects how law enforcement agencies manage and disperse certain types of seized firearms.
