This bill also required FDLE to create and maintain a database of persons who are disqualified from purchasing a firearm as a result of being adjudicated mentally defective or committed to a mental institution. The Mental Competency (MECOM) database was established in February 2007 and is accessed as a part of the screening of potential firearm purchasers in Florida and by the FBI National Instant Check System. It is also used by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in the evaluation of persons who are applying for concealed weapon permits.<br /> In 2013, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 1355 that took effect on July 1, 2013. It provides conditions under which an individual who has been allowed to transfer to voluntary status in lieu of court-ordered involuntary commitment after being admitted for involuntary examination at a Baker Act receiving facility and is certified by a physician to be of imminent danger, may be prohibited from purchasing firearms or retaining or applying for a concealed weapon or firearms license. This bill amended FS 790.065(2)(a)4.c.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218517140346763079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-30937214597016690102013-08-27T19:04:23.995-06:002013-08-27T19:04:23.995-06:00Thank you! Illinois appears to have passed a state...Thank you! Illinois appears to have passed a state license requirement in August, 1967 that prohibited "mental patients confined to institutions within the previous five years and the mentally retarded."

This would be...I could maybe do this for Illinois.<br /><br />This would be my method:<br /><br />1) Search the current statutes for the relevant current law. I believe the statutes include when the law was enacted, and possibly the relevant bill number.<br /><br />2) Examine the records of the Illinois legislature for that date, or for that bill. If the bill amended or replaced an existing statute, that information would be in the bill.<br /><br />3) That information should lead to the legislative action which created the preceding statute.<br /><br />4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the legislation which created the first law is found.<br /><br />Do you think this would work?<br /><br />I believe Northwestern University's library has a complete set of the proceedings. The library is near me and open to the public (by day).<br /><br />Also, Northwestern may have old versions of Illinois statutes. (Those may be at the Law School, which is downtown.)<br />Rich Rostromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262703348236110420noreply@blogger.com
