Explanation

(This amendment provides $500,000 GF the first year for the potential fiscal impact to the Virginia State Police of Senate Bill 348, which requires any person who possesses a firearm in a residence where such person knows that a minor or a person who is prohibited by law from possessing a firearm is present to store such firearm and ammunition in a locked container, compartment, or cabinet that is inaccessible to the minor or prohibited person. In the fiscal impact for a similar bill, Senate Bill 368 in the 2024 Session, the Virginia State Police indicated that the agency would purchase biometric storage devices for its sworn officers to meet the bill's intent.)
