Senate Bill 8 is modeled after a law implemented in San Jose January 1st. Senator Nancy Skinner says they want individuals, not taxpayers, to be held financially responsible when their firearm is used to harm someone, even if it's unintentional.
State lawmakers are considering a bill that would require gun owners to carry insurance, just as you would for your car or home. The insurance would cover the negligent or accidental discharge of a gun when someone is injured or killed.State lawmakers are considering a bill that would require gun owners to carry insurance, just as you would for your car or home.

Senate Bill 8, introduced by Senator Catherine Blakespear and co-sponsored by Oakland’s Nancy Skinner last month, is now in committee. If passed, Skinner hopes the bill will bring more financial responsibility directly to gun owners when someone is harmed by a gun. "Analogizing gun insurance to car insurance is somewhat of a red herring because if you drove your car into a crowd of people, that would not be covered by insurance because it’s an intentional criminal act. What you could do is put a tax on firearms and designate a certain portion of that tax for victims of violent crimes involving firearms," Clark said. Senate Bill 8 would also require gun owners to have proof they legally own the gun and keep that proof with them.
