• require firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms to a law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction in which the loss or theft occurred within 24 hours of discovering the loss or theft.

The measure specifies that by January 1, 2021, the Oregon Health Authority would need to adopt temporary rules establishing specifications for trigger locks, cable locks, and containers with tamper-resistant locks. According to the measure, by July 1, 2021, the attorney general would need to adopt permanent rules establishing specifications for trigger locks, cable locks, and containers with tamper-resistant locks.
