House Bill 15-1086: Requiring the Colorado Bureau of
Investigation to Facilitate Lawful Transfers of Firearms by Timely Producing
Certificates for Transferees (GOOD)
by Representative P. Neville and Senator T. Neville. For transfers of
machine guns, destructive devices, and certain types of firearms, federal law
requires prospective transferees, in addition to submitting to a criminal
records background check, to acquire a certificate from a law enforcement
entity, which certificate states that: (1) The certifying official is
satisfied that the fingerprints and photograph accompanying the application
are those of the applicant; and (2) The certifying official has no information
indicating that the receipt or possession of the firearm or device would place
the transferee in violation of state or local law or that the transferee will
use the firearm or device for an unlawful purpose.
The bill states that if a prospective transferee requests such a certificate from the Colorado bureau of investigation, then not later than 5 days after receiving the request, the director of the bureau, or his or her designee, shall either: (1) Produce the certificate and transfer it to the possession of the prospective transferee; or (2) Deny the certificate and provide the prospective transferee a written explanation of why the certificate was denied and an opportunity to provide additional information relating to the reason for the refusal.
