The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes related to transaction privilege and use tax by exempting the gross proceeds of sales or gross income derived from sales of safe firearm storage devices from these taxes. Specifically, it would insert definitions for "safe firearm storage devices," which are defined as devices designed to deny unauthorized access to firearms and secured by specific locking mechanisms. Additionally, the bill would clarify that certain devices, such as those incorporated into firearms or those subject to mandatory recalls, would not qualify as safe firearm storage devices.

Furthermore, the bill would establish that the tax exemption applies to taxable periods beginning on or after the first day of the month following the general effective date of the act. This change aims to promote the sale of safe firearm storage devices by reducing the tax burden associated with their purchase, thereby encouraging responsible firearm storage practices.
