Frequently Asked Questions

What was California Senate Bill 906?

California Senate Bill 906, titled "School Safety, Mass Casualty Threats, and Firearms Disclosure," proposed requiring parents to inform their children's schools about firearm ownership and safe storage practices, with provisions for law enforcement notification.

Why was SB 906 considered a 'backdoor gun registry'?

Critics argued SB 906 would create a backdoor firearm registry by compelling disclosure of ownership information to schools, which could then be accessed by law enforcement, bypassing standard registry procedures and privacy protections.

What is 'reasonable suspicion' in the context of SB 906?

SB 906 defined 'reasonable suspicion' as articulable facts with rational inferences, a lower legal threshold than 'probable cause.' This standard could have allowed schools and law enforcement to initiate investigations and searches more easily.

Was SB 906 ultimately passed into law?

No, SB 906 was defeated in the California Senate Education Committee. While it was later amended, concerns about its implications for privacy and potential for a backdoor registry led to its downfall in its original form.
