Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides various penalties for recklessly storing or leaving a
loaded firearm within the reach or easy access of a child who is younger than 14 years
old. This bill broadens the coverage of that law so that it applies to leaving a loaded
firearm within the reach or easy access of a child who is younger than 18 years old.
