Welf. & Inst. Code 8103(a)(c) and (d) (1967; amended by AB 109, 2011) [operative only upon the creation and funding of a community corrections grant program.]

Persons who have been found to be a danger to others due to a mental disorder or mental illness, found not guilty of a non-violent crime by reason of insanity, or found mentally incompetent to stand trial cannot purchase, receive or possess any firearm or deadly weapon, unless the court of adjudication has issued a certificate upon their release stating that the person may possess a firearm or deadly weapon without endangering others, the court of commitment has found the person to have recovered sanity, or there has been a finding of restoration of competence to stand trial by the committing court, respectively. In all cases, state courts must immediately inform the Department of Justice of the mental health status of such individuals, and any certificates issued to allow them to possess a firearm or notifications that the person has recovered his or her sanity or competence.
