Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Defender utility
Virginia defenders: the live issue is (1) whether the prior is a qualifying misdemeanor hate-crime conviction, (2) whether the charged act is concealed carry (not mere possession at home), (3) restoration/relief if any. Do not conflate with VA AWB cards (HB 217 / SB 749 / HB 1524). New prohibited-person theory; bank_signal queued for status-based carry packs. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. VA PDs on concealed-carry calendars with a misdemeanor hate-crime prior — chaptered status disqualifier, not a California charge.
