The proposed "Jaime's Law" seeks to amend Florida Statutes section 790.065 to implement mandatory background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition, aligning it with existing firearm regulations. Licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers will be required to conduct criminal history checks before selling or delivering ammunition, with certain exceptions for individuals holding valid concealed weapons licenses or specific law enforcement certifications. The bill also introduces a fee for processing these checks, which will be managed by the Department of Law Enforcement. Additionally, it outlines conditions under which ammunition transfers can occur without a background check, emphasizing the transferor's responsibility to ensure the transferee is not likely to use the ammunition for criminal purposes.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Department of Law Enforcement must determine a potential buyer's eligibility within 24 working hours, issuing a conditional approval number if a determination cannot be made in that timeframe. If the buyer is later found to be prohibited, the conditional approval will be revoked, and local law enforcement will be notified. The bill also emphasizes the confidentiality and security of records related to firearm and ammunition transactions, while imposing penalties for providing false information during purchases. Notably, it removes certain language regarding record-keeping practices and clarifies that the state will not maintain records of purchasers who receive unique approval numbers. The law is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
