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.
