An amended bill was submitted by two California senators last week which will require gun owners in the state to secure liability insurance for their firearms.
Introduced by Senators Nancy Skinner, D-Oakland and Catherine Blakespear, D-Encinitas, the amended Senate Bill 8 was proposed following the mass shooting incidents that occurred across California last month.
“Victims of gun violence and their families suffer severe harm — economic, mental and physical — but have little to no recourse to be compensated for that harm,” said Skinner in a statement.
