Santa Fe, NM- This week the House of Representative passed HB 119; adding one
more year to the prison sentence of a felon who steals a firearm. This passed the
House on a bipartisan 45-10 vote.
We know most convicted felons obtain a firearm by theft this adds an additional
year to the sentence, said Representative Bill Rehm.
It is the hope of Representative Rehm that felons who are committing burglary
will stop stealing firearms.
