HI HB2632

Requires immediate surrender of all firearms and ammunition for persons disqualified from ownership due to mental illness diagnosis or emergency/involuntary psychiatric hospitalization under Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 334, part IV.

Police chief must issue written notice requiring immediate surrender when a person becomes disqualified; if not voluntarily surrendered, the chief of police may seize the firearms and ammunition.

Firearms and ammunition seized are held in police custody until the person is medically documented as no longer adversely affected or until transferred/sold by the owner.

Maintains existing 30-day surrender requirement for permit denials and other disqualifications, with immediate surrender requirement applying only to mental health and psychiatric hospitalization cases.

Takes effect upon approval; does not affect rights, duties, or proceedings that began before the effective date.
