After passage in the Georgia Senate last week by a bipartisan 49 to 4 vote, Senate Bill 350 is now expected to be heard in the state House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee on Monday, March 19, at 1:00 p.m. in Room 132 of the Capitol. This important legislation would mandate municipal, county and state police authorities return all seized firearms, not currently being held as evidence in a criminal investigation, to the lawful owner if able. If the lawful owner is not found or unable to take possession of the firearm, SB 350 would require these agencies sell these firearms at a public auction to licensed firearms dealers.
