Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, if a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm due
to the commission of, or the solicitation, conspiracy, or attempt to commit, a violent
felony is convicted of illegally possessing a firearm, the court must impose a
mandatory minimum three-year incarceration period if the person, within the five
years prior to the illegal possession of the firearm, was serving a sentence, was on
parole, or was committed for a subsequent felony or a violent misdemeanor. Under
this bill, the court must also impose the mandatory minimum three-year
incarceration period if the person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm
violated the prohibition while on probation, parole, extended supervision, or
conditional release for the commission of a prior felony or violent misdemeanor.
