Bill	Ammunition.	(1) The proposed Safety for All Act of 2016, to be submitted to the voters at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, if enacted would, commencing January 1, 2019, allow any person who is 18 years of age or older to apply to the Department of Justice for an ammunition purchase authorization. The act would allow the sale of ammunition only to persons holding an ammunition purchase authorization or to persons who were approved by the department to receive a firearm from the ammunition vendor if the ammunition is delivered to the person in the same transaction as the firearm. The act would allow the department to charge a fee not to exceed $50 per person for the issuance of an ammunition purchase authorization or the issuance of a renewal authorization. The act would create the Ammunition Safety and Enforcement Special Fund to receive these fees and would continuously appropriate the funds for the purposes of implementing, operating, and enforcing the ammunition authorization program. The act would authorize its provisions to be amended by a statute that is passed by a vote of 55 percent of the Members of each house of the Legislature and signed by the Governor so long as the amendments are consistent with and further the intent of the act.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20152016	SB 1235	California SB 1235 (20152016)	bill appropriation	Ammunition.	enacted	De León	9	28	8	2016-02-18	2016-07-01	openstates	ocd-bill/82dca6f8-caff-46ca-83b8-dab7240669a3	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB1235	cc851f9be59acf6070375108f194a332525e7330c41ce0bf494d1d984b811e67	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
