The governor also signed two bills that would mandate state courts share more information with federal authorities, especially as they relate to mental health information and background checks for gun buyers. The legislation aims to keep guns out of the hands of people with legally defined mental health problems.House Bill 717 and Senate Bill 135, were introduced by Haughton Republican Henry Burns and Columbia Republican Neil Riser. The new laws will require clerks of court in Louisiana to report to the state Supreme Court when a citizen loses the right to possess firearms. This can occur when someone is found guilty of certain criminal offenses or when a legal determination has been made that the citizen lacks the mental capacity to stand trial. The court would then send this information to the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check system. The system is utilized by every federal licensed firearm dealer in the country to ensure a potential buyer does not have a criminal or mental health history that precludes the purchase of a gun.In Louisiana, a citizen is legally barred from buying a gun if he or she pleads guilty to a crime by reason of insanity, lacks the mental capacity to proceed to trial for a crime or is involuntarily ordered to be committed to an inpatient mental health treatment facility.
