Sec. 7.

Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 609.2242, subdivision 3, is amended to read:

Subd. 3.

Domestic assaults; firearms.

(a) When a person is convicted of a violation of
this section or section 609.221, 609.222, 609.223, new text begin 609.2234, or new text end 609.224, deleted text begin or 609.2247, deleted text end the
court shall determine and make written findings on the record as to whether:

(1) the assault was committed against a family or household member, as defined in
section 518B.01, subdivision 2;

(2) the defendant owns or possesses a firearm; and

(3) the firearm was used in any way during the commission of the assault.

(b) If the court determines that the assault was of a family or household member, and
that the offender owns or possesses a firearm and used it in any way during the commission
of the assault, it shall order that the firearm be summarily forfeited under section 609.5316,
subdivision 3.

(c) When a person is convicted of assaulting a family or household member and is
determined by the court to have used a firearm in any way during commission of the assault,
the court may order that the person is prohibited from possessing any type of firearm for
any period longer than three years or for the remainder of the person's life. A person who
violates this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. At the time of the conviction, the
court shall inform the defendant for how long the defendant is prohibited from possessing
a firearm and that it is a gross misdemeanor to violate this paragraph. The failure of the
court to provide this information to a defendant does not affect the applicability of the
firearm possession prohibition or the gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), when a person is convicted of a
violation of this section or section 609.224 and the court determines that the victim was a
family or household member, the court shall inform the defendant that the defendant is
prohibited from possessing a firearm for three years from the date of conviction and that it
is a gross misdemeanor offense to violate this prohibition. The failure of the court to provide
this information to a defendant does not affect the applicability of the firearm possession
prohibition or the gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), a person is not entitled to possess a
pistol if the person has been convicted after August 1, 1992, or a firearm if a person has
been convicted on or after August 1, 2014, of domestic assault under this section or assault
in the fifth degree under section 609.224 and the assault victim was a family or household
member as defined in section 518B.01, subdivision 2, unless three years have elapsed from
the date of conviction and, during that time, the person has not been convicted of any other
violation of this section or section 609.224. Property rights may not be abated but access
may be restricted by the courts. A person who possesses a firearm in violation of this
paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) and (h), when a person is convicted
of a violation of this section or section 609.221, 609.222, 609.223, new text begin 609.2234, or new text end 609.224 deleted text begin ,
or 609.2247 deleted text end and the court determines that the assault was against a family or household
member, the court shall order the defendant to transfer any firearms that the person possesses,
within three business days, to a federally licensed firearms dealer, a law enforcement agency,
or a third party who may lawfully receive them. The transfer may be permanent or temporary,
unless the court prohibits the person from possessing a firearm for the remainder of the
person's life under paragraph (c). A temporary firearm transfer only entitles the receiving
party to possess the firearm. A temporary transfer does not transfer ownership or title. A
defendant may not transfer firearms to a third party who resides with the defendant. If a
defendant makes a temporary transfer, a federally licensed firearms dealer or law enforcement
agency may charge the defendant a reasonable fee to store the person's firearms and may
establish policies for disposal of abandoned firearms, provided such policies require that
the person be notified by certified mail prior to disposal of abandoned firearms. For temporary
firearms transfers under this paragraph, a law enforcement agency, federally licensed firearms
dealer, or third party shall exercise due care to preserve the quality and function of the
transferred firearms and shall return the transferred firearms to the person upon request after
the expiration of the prohibiting time period imposed under this subdivision, provided the
person is not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law. The
return of temporarily transferred firearms to a person shall comply with state and federal
law. If a defendant permanently transfers the defendant's firearms to a law enforcement
agency, the agency is not required to compensate the defendant and may charge the defendant
a reasonable processing fee. A law enforcement agency is not required to accept a person's
firearm under this paragraph. The court shall order that the person surrender all permits to
carry and purchase firearms to the sheriff.

(g) A defendant who is ordered to transfer firearms under paragraph (f) must file proof
of transfer as provided for in this paragraph. If the transfer is made to a third party, the third
party must sign an affidavit under oath before a notary public either acknowledging that
the defendant permanently transferred the defendant's firearms to the third party or agreeing
to temporarily store the defendant's firearms until such time as the defendant is legally
permitted to possess firearms. The affidavit shall indicate the serial number, make, and
model of all firearms transferred by the defendant to the third party. The third party shall
acknowledge in the affidavit that the third party may be held criminally and civilly
responsible under section 624.7144 if the defendant gains access to a transferred firearm
while the firearm is in the custody of the third party. If the transfer is to a law enforcement
agency or federally licensed firearms dealer, the law enforcement agency or federally
licensed firearms dealer shall provide proof of transfer to the defendant. The proof of transfer
must specify whether the firearms were permanently or temporarily transferred and include
the name of the defendant, date of transfer, and the serial number, make, and model of all
transferred firearms. The defendant shall provide the court with a signed and notarized
affidavit or proof of transfer as described in this section within two business days of the
firearms transfer. The court shall seal affidavits and proofs of transfer filed pursuant to this
paragraph.

(h) When a person is convicted of a violation of this section or section 609.221, 609.222,
609.223, new text begin 609.2234, or new text end 609.224 deleted text begin , or 609.2247 deleted text end , and the court determines that the assault was
against a family or household member, the court shall determine by a preponderance of the
evidence if the person poses an imminent risk of causing another person substantial bodily
harm. Upon a finding of imminent risk, the court shall order that the local law enforcement
agency take immediate possession of all firearms in the person's possession. The local law
enforcement agency shall exercise due care to preserve the quality and function of the
defendant's firearms and shall return the firearms to the person upon request after the
expiration of the prohibiting time period, provided the person is not otherwise prohibited
from possessing firearms under state or federal law. The local law enforcement agency
shall, upon written notice from the person, transfer the firearms to a federally licensed
firearms dealer or a third party who may lawfully receive them. Before a local law
enforcement agency transfers a firearm under this paragraph, the agency shall require the
third party or federally licensed firearms dealer receiving the firearm to submit an affidavit
or proof of transfer that complies with the requirements for affidavits or proofs of transfer
established in paragraph (g). The agency shall file all affidavits or proofs of transfer received
with the court within two business days of the transfer. The court shall seal all affidavits or
proofs of transfer filed pursuant to this paragraph. A federally licensed firearms dealer or
third party who accepts a firearm transfer pursuant to this paragraph shall comply with
paragraphs (f) and (g) as if accepting transfer from the defendant. If the law enforcement
agency does not receive written notice from the defendant within three business days, the
agency may charge a reasonable fee to store the defendant's firearms. A law enforcement
agency may establish policies for disposal of abandoned firearms, provided such policies
require that the person be notified via certified mail prior to disposal of abandoned firearms.
