State of California Assembly Bill 420

Assembly Bill 420 (AB 420) of California authorizes the state's Department of Justice to establish a secure online system for individuals and organizations to verify the validity of firearm or ammunition permits, licenses, or registrations issued by the state. This system aims to improve efficiency and security by allowing authorized users to access up-to-date permit information electronically, reducing reliance on paper records. In essence, AB 420 enhances the state's capacity to ensure firearm regulations are properly followed by providing a streamlined, real-time verification process for permits and licenses.
