This bill sets rules for how the value of a state-issued firearm is calculated when a retiring state employee wants to buy it. It establishes a depreciation method to determine a fair purchase price, meaning the firearm's age and wear would be factored in rather than using the original cost. Who it may affect: state employees who retire with a firearm issued to them as part of their job.
