Kimberly Vaughan Firearm Safe Storage Act
Not law yet. Pending legislation.
Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
Now: 922(z) is handgun-only at FFLs; no 923(m) notice. If chaptered: 922(z) covers rifles/shotguns 180 days later; 923(m) notice duty starts 1/1/2029 for larger manufacturers/importers. Confirm enactment before advising.
Defender utility
FFLs/makers: this is a pending dealer/manufacturer notice-and-device duty, not a client possessory count. PDs should not treat missing a lockbox as a federal crime under this bill. If it chapters, 922(z) expands from handgun-only to long guns 180 days after enactment and 923(m) notice starts 2029. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. FFLs/makers prepping a pending federal storage-notice and 922(z) long-gun expansion — not a client possessory charge; not present law.
