Sacramento, CA – Senate Bill 53, authored by Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D – Burbank), passed the Senate Floor today. The bill expands existing firearm safe storage laws by creating barriers to suicide, unintentional shootings, and theft. Senator Portantino was the author of California’s landmark safe storage law in 2019 – SB 172. SB 53 builds on that effort and will make Californians even more safe.
