CA AB1993

Establishes a 30-day holding period exclusively for firearms reported electronically to the Department of Justice, with the holding period commencing from the date of electronic report submission.

Creates a new 7-day holding period for non-firearm tangible personal property reported to CAPSS, commencing from the date the report is made to CAPSS.

Allows secondhand dealers and coin dealers to sell tangible personal property before the 7-day hold expires if 5 days have elapsed and the dealer records the buyer's name, address, and at least one contact method (phone, email, or text address).

Requires dealers to retain buyer information for 21 days following the sale and make it available to local law enforcement agencies upon written request if property is reported stolen.

Eliminates references to local police chiefs and sheriffs in reporting requirements, centralizing oversight with the Department of Justice for firearms and CAPSS for other tangible personal property.
