The bill amends section 790.065 of the Florida Statutes, specifically addressing the sale and transfer of firearms to individuals under 21 years of age. It removes the existing prohibition that prevents persons younger than 21 from purchasing firearms and eliminates the restrictions on licensed importers, manufacturers, and dealers from facilitating such sales or transfers. The previous legal language that defined these prohibitions and outlined the penalties for violations has been deleted.

As a result of this amendment, individuals under 21 will no longer face legal barriers to purchasing firearms, and the associated penalties for licensed dealers who facilitate these transactions will also be lifted. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
