Summary:
Chapter 214 of the 2016 Acts of Assembly replaced the
requirement that law-enforcement agencies report information regarding
confiscated firearms to the Department of State Police with a requirement that
such information be reported to a firearms tracing system maintained by the
U.S. Department of Justice. In accordance with Chapter 214, this regulatory
action repeals 19VAC30-110, which contains the regulatory requirements
regarding reporting to the Department of State Police. A new chapter,
19VAC30-115 is being adopted in a separate action to implement reporting to the
U.S. Department of Justice.
