BILL NUMBER: S2438 SPONSOR: KAPLAN TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to access to foreign state records PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Individuals who are domiciled in other states but reside in New York are able to apply for firearm licenses - but due to confidentiality rules. New York authorities may be prevented from investigating the mental illness record of those individuals in their home states. This measure addresses that flaw by requiring applicants to waive the confidentiality of their foreign home state mental illness records to the extent a waiv- er is necessary to permit the New York licensing authority to view those records.
