Senate Bill 948, introduced by state Sen. Jesse Arreguin, D-Oakland, would require more paperwork for gun importers.

A personal firearm importer trying to import a gun into the state would have to get a firearm safety certificate, which would have to be accompanied by a report on the gun owner and the firearm itself. The report is already required by law

Under the new legislation, anyone trying to bring a gun into the state would have to acquire the certificate within 60 days of coming into California.

The bill would also require an applicant for a firearm safety certificate to take an eight-hour training course that covers firearm safety and handling. The course includes live-fire shooting exercises at a range. This would apply to anyone bringing a gun into California after July 1, 2028.
