What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Firearms Law so that a social worker treating a person can report a concern for a person's life or for public safety, not only when a weapon is held but also when an application to hold a firearm is submitted. The director of the Ministry of Welfare is required to pass this notice on to the licensing officer. In this way, the proposal aims to increase oversight of the issuance of firearm licenses, among other things in cases of domestic violence.
