Drafteligibility

Welfare and Institutions Code section 8103 establishes firearm-related restrictions tied to specified court findings, conservatorship circumstances and qualifying custody, assessment, admission or treatment events. [1] Its provisions differ in duration and include specified notice, reporting and hearing procedures. [1] For example, subdivision (f) requires the stated custody, assessment and admission conditions; the statute does not make a diagnosis alone the stated trigger for that category. Eligibility cannot be determined from a broad label for a person’s health condition. [1]
