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 outlined these prohibitions and the associated penalties for violations has been entirely deleted.

As a result of this amendment, individuals under 21 years of age will no longer face legal barriers to purchasing firearms, and the bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law. This change reflects a significant shift in the state's approach to firearm sales and transfers concerning younger individuals.
