Help Keep State Waterways Clean! Join Thousands of Volunteers for Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept. 19
Sacramento — Mark your calendars for California’s largest annual volunteer cleanup effort on Saturday, Sept. 19. Communities statewide will come together for the 42nd Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day to remove litter along beaches, rivers, creeks, bays, and wetlands. From veteran cleanup champions to students fulfilling their community service requirements, all volunteers are invited to roll up their sleeves and make local communities cleaner and healthier for all. Last year, more than 40,000 volunteers joined hundreds of clean-up events statewide to remove almost 400,000 pounds of trash from California shorelines, lakes, and waterways. To find and register for a 2026 event near you, visit the California Coastal Commission’s handy cleanup map at CoastalCleanupDay.org. "The desire for clean water and a litter-free Golden state connects all Californians, and Coastal Cleanup Day provides residents an opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder and experience first-hand how much can be achieved by working together for the greater good,” said Caltrans Director Dina El-Tawansy. “This year, the cleanups are even more important ahead of the strong El Niño storms expected this fall. The more trash and other pollutants we can remove now, the less will be swept untreated into our waterways and washed downstream to the ocean." Research has shown up to 80 percent of trash found on ocean beaches originates from inland sources. This data emphasizes why the cleanup day goes beyond cleaning up only coastal areas and includes inland waterways. "The passion and dedication of California volunteers year after year is what makes this movement so impactful,” said California Coastal Commission Executive Director Kate Huckelbridge. “Community by community and generation by generation, people step up to care for our coastlines and inland waters. We are deeply grateful for their support and invite everyone to be part of this vital effort on Sept. 19." As in past years, Caltrans’ Stormwater Program is co-sponsoring cleanup events in all 12 Caltrans districts. This includes: River City Waterway Alliance (RCWA) •Time: 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. • Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park • 450 Jibboom St., Sacramento, CA 95811 Shorebird Park Nature Center •Time: 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. • Shorebird Nature Center •160 University Ave., Berkeley, CA 94710 Inland Empire Waterkeeper • Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. • Doty Trust Park • 5410 Golden Ave, Riverside, CA 92505 Orange County Coastkeeper • Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. • Location: Huntington Beach Tower 7 • Address: 21601 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach, CA 92646 San Diego Coastkeeper •Time: 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. • Otay Valley Regional Park – Beyer Way • Address: 231 Beyer Way Chula Vista, CA 91911 Throughout the year, Caltrans’ Stormwater Program works to remind the public that keeping roadways, riverbanks, and coastlines clear of trash and other pollutants reduces the amount of untreated stormwater pollution entering our water systems. Caltrans encourages drivers to do their part year-round by properly securing truck loads and roof cargo and collecting trash in their cars to prevent it from blowing or spilling out of vehicles. Caltrans also led Governor Gavin Newsom’s $1.2 billion Clean CA program, a multiyear cleanup effort that removed more than 3.2 million cubic yards of trash, created thousands of jobs, and funded hundreds of local community projects to reclaim, transform and beautify public spaces. California volunteer groups can also assist with year-round litter collection activity through the highway department’s Adopt-A-Highway program. Adoptions usually span a two-mile stretch of roadside, and signs are included at no charge. For more information and to inquire about program participation, visit here.

AB 28: Certificate of Registration
Assembly Bill 28 (AB 28) Commencing July 1, 2024, Assembly Bill 28 (AB 28), which was signed into law on September 26, 2023, requires all firearms dealers and ammunition vendors to obtain a Certificate of Registration with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). This Certificate of Registration requirement also applies to any federally licensed firearm manufacturer that engages in the retail sale of any firearms in California, including firearm precursor parts. There is no fee for this Firearm and Ammunition Excise Tax (FET) Certificate of Registration. The FET Certificate of Registration requirement is in addition to the existing requirement that firearms dealers and ammunition vendors maintain a valid seller’s permit, and that firearms manufacturers maintain a valid seller’s permit or resale certificate. Additionally, AB 28 states that the Department of Justice may revoke any ammunition vendor license or remove any firearms dealer or firearms manufacturer from any centralized list upon notification from CDTFA that CDTFA revoked the licensee’s certificate of registration or revoked or suspended the licensee’s seller’s permit. This webpage is intended to highlight only a few aspects of AB 28. Please review AB 28—including sections 36035 and 36036 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and sections 26700, 26705, and 30395 of the Penal Code—for further details, requirements, and relevant information. For information on obtaining the FET Certificate of Registration, seller’s permit, or resale certificate, you may visit the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration website at www.cdtfa.ca.gov and CDTFA’s “Tax Guide for Sellers of Firearm and Ammunition Products” website at www.cdtfa.ca.gov/industry/sellers-of-firearm-and-ammunition-products/. Should you have any other questions, please contact the Bureau of Firearms, Centralized List Unit at 916-210-2750 or via email at [email protected].
Ammunition Purchase Authorization Program
Effective July 1, 2019, persons seeking to purchase or transfer ammunition will have to undergo an eligibility check, and be approved by the Department, prior to the sale or transfer, except as otherwise specified. Departmental approval shall occur electronically through a licensed ammunition vendor. Pursuant to Penal Code sections 30352 and 30370, the Department will determine that a person is eligible to purchase or transfer ammunition if they meet one of the following requirements: The person has a current Certificate of Eligibility issued by the Department The person’s information matches an entry in the Automated Firearms System (name, date of birth, current address, and driver license or other government identification) and does not fall within a class of persons who are prohibited from owning or possessing ammunition. The Department shall make this determination by cross-referencing the Prohibited Armed Persons file (also known as the Armed and Prohibited Persons System). The person is not prohibited from purchasing or possessing ammunition. The Department determines eligibility based on a comprehensive review of its records (similar to a firearm eligibility check). Please note: this eligibility check requires a manual review of records by a Department analyst. As such, the Department may take longer to respond with a determination as to eligibility. Response times may take several days. Persons will have the ability to check the status of their eligibility check through the Ammunition Eligibility Check Status and Information page (available July 1, 2019). The person was approved by the Department to receive a firearm from the ammunition vendor, pursuant to Penal Code section 28220, if that vendor is a licensed firearm dealer, and the ammunition is delivered to the person in the same transaction as the firearm. In this scenario, the dealer will use the approved firearm eligibility check as the approval to purchase ammunition, and will submit the ammunition purchase to the Department during the delivery of the firearm. Establishing a Record in the Automated Firearms System The Automated Firearms System is a repository of firearm records maintained by the Department, as established by Penal Code section 11106. The Automated Firearms System is populated by way of firearm purchases or transfers at a California licensed firearm dealer, registration of assault weapons (during specified registration periods), an individual’s report of firearm ownership to the Department, Carry Concealed Weapons Permit records, or records entered by law enforcement agencies. To establish an Automated Firearms System record, you may take one of the following actions: Record ownership of a firearm you possess, but were not previously required to report, by submitting a Firearm Ownership Report to the Department. If your last firearm purchase of a long gun was prior to January 1, 2014, there is a possibility you may not have a record in the Automated Firearms System despite having purchased or transferred your firearm through a firearms dealer. The Department was statutorily prohibited from retaining information regarding sales of rifles or shotguns prior to January 1, 2014. As a result, records of rifles and shotguns in the Automated Firearms System prior to January 1, 2014, are limited to assault weapon registrations (Pen. Code, § 30500, et seq.), voluntary reports of ownership, and other records entered by the Department and California law enforcement agencies. You may submit the Firearm Ownership Report through the California Firearms Application Reporting System (CFARS). For more information regarding this process please visit the Firearms Reporting and Law Enforcement Release Application page. Record ownership through a purchase or transfer of a firearm from a licensed firearm dealer in California. Updating a Record in the Automated Firearm System Effective July 1, 2019, persons with an outdated Automated Firearms System record will have the ability to update personal information (name, date of birth, Identification number/type, and current address) on their Automated Firearm System record via the CFARS. Please refer to the Department’s Automated Firearms System Personal Information Update page for more information regarding this process.

What if I don’t know the exact personal information or firearms information that was used when I purchased or transferred my firearm? You can request to obtain information on all firearms for which you are listed as the purchaser, transferee, or owner in the State of California. Based on the personal information you provide, the Department will conduct a diligent search of the Automated Firearms System and will provide you with the listing via mail. Once you receive the listing, you can reference the personal and firearm information that was recorded at the time the firearm was purchased or transferred. Thereafter, you can use the information to update your Automated Firearm System record. The Automated Firearms System Request for Firearm Records (BOF 053) application can be located at https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/forms. I know I have an Automated Firearms System record but I am not sure if my personal information is current. May I submit a new Firearm Ownership Report instead of updating my Automated Firearm System record? No. The Department will not process firearm ownership reports for firearms that are already recorded in your name. What if I don’t have a firearm record in the Automated Firearm System and I want to purchase ammunition? For more information about how you can meet the requirements to purchase ammunition without having an Automated Firearms System record, please visit the Ammunition Purchase Authorization webpage.
SB 452: Microstamping
Senate Bill (SB) 452, which was signed into law on September 26, 2023, amended California’s Unsafe Handgun Act by removing the microstamping requirement from Penal Code section 31910 and adding, under separate Penal Code provisions, new requirements related to microstamping components (specifically, sections 27531, 27532, 27533, 27534.1 and 27534.2). As detailed further below, this law provides a series of staggered implementation requirements for the California Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the technological viability of microstamping components, develop performance standards and licensing processes for entities that produce those components, and assess the commercial availability of microstamping components or microstamping-enabled firearms. It also provides a conditional mandate related to microstamping components in semiautomatic pistols sold or transferred in the state. Commencing January 1, 2028, this law will require licensed firearms dealers to ensure that semiautomatic pistols sold, offered for sale, exchanged, given, transferred, or delivered by those dealers in California are certified as “microstamping-enabled” by the pistol’s manufacturer, a licensed firearms dealer, or a gunsmith that serviced the pistol by installing a qualifying microstamping component (Pen. Code § 27533 and § 27531(c)). This requirement would apply to any semiautomatic pistol manufactured or delivered to a firearms dealer on or after January 1, 2028. However, this requirement takes effect only if DOJ has first made two separate determinations regarding: (1) the technological viability of microstamping components; and (2) the commercial availability of microstamping components and/or microstamping-enabled firearms. Technological Viability of Microstamping Components For the first of these determinations, SB 452 requires DOJ to “engage in an investigation to determine the technological viability of microstamping components producing microstamps on spent cartridge casings discharged by a firearm into which the microstamping component has been installed,” which includes soliciting input from relevant stakeholders (Pen. Code §27532(a)). On July 18, 2025, DOJ released a report finding that it is technologically viable for microstamping components (engraved firing pins) to imprint a unique microscopic array of characters, referred to as a “microstamp,” on spent cartridge cases discharged by a firearm into which the microstamping component has been installed. Commercial Availability of Microstamping Components Once DOJ has made a finding that microstamping components are technologically viable, it is required to: By September 1, 2025, provide “written guidance on performance standards for persons, associations, partnerships, corporations, or other entities engaged in the business of producing microstamping components.” (Pen. Code § 27532(b).) Those performance standards can be found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 16, Sections 4600-4601. By January 1, 2026, commence accepting applications for licenses for entities that produce microstamping components that meet DOJ’s performance standards. Entities seeking a license to produce microstamping components must submit samples to a DOJ-Certified Lab which will evaluate and conduct the testing of the semiautomatic pistol with the microstamping component pursuant to the standards outlined in California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 16, Sections 4600-4601. Once the DOJ-Certified Lab has tested the microstamping components, it must submit BOF Form 130 Microstamping Performance Report to DOJ to evaluate whether the microstamping component meets the performance standards. BOF Form 130 will be accepted by email at [email protected]. These requirements are set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 16, Section 4602. By July 1, 2026, DOJ must provide grants or enter into contracts with one or more entities licensed to produce microstamping components that meet DOJ’s performance standards to make those microstamping components available for sale or other distribution at a reasonable cost to firearm manufacturers, licensed firearms dealers, and gunsmiths engaged in the business of installing microstamping components in California. (Pen. Code § 27532(d).) By July 1, 2027, DOJ must determine: (1) whether microstamping components are available at commercially reasonable prices from licensees producing microstamping components, and (2) whether “options of microstamping-enabled firearms are readily available for purchase” in California. (Pen. Code § 27532(e).) Once DOJ determines that either or both of these criteria are met, DOJ must publish a list of all licensees producing microstamping components that meet the microstamping performance standards and “shall notify licensed firearms dealers, gunsmiths, and manufacturers operating within the State of California of the list of available microstamping component producers.” (Pen. Code § 27532(f).) Definitions of Key Terms can be found in Pen. Code § 27531.

Furthermore, the handgun must be carried directly to or from any motor vehicle for any lawful purpose and, while being carried must be contained within a locked container. Pursuant to California Penal Code section 16850, the term "locked container" means a secure container that is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES Nonconcealable firearms (shotguns and rifles) are not generally covered within the provisions of California Penal Code section 25400 and therefore are not required to be transported in a locked container. However, as with any firearm, nonconcealable firearms must be unloaded while they are being transported.
