The proposed "Jaimes Law" seeks to amend section 790.065 of the Florida Statutes to mandate background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition, thereby aligning it with current firearm regulations. Key provisions require licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers to obtain a completed form from potential buyers, collect a processing fee for criminal history checks, and request a check from the Department of Law Enforcement. The bill outlines exceptions for individuals with valid concealed weapons licenses and for certain transfers, such as at shooting ranges or for hunting. It also introduces clarifications regarding the criteria for prohibiting individuals from purchasing firearms or ammunition based on felony convictions, domestic violence offenses, or mental health adjudications.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a process for the Department of Law Enforcement to issue conditional approval numbers to licensees while awaiting disposition information on potential buyers. If a buyer is later found to be prohibited from ownership, the conditional approval will be revoked, and local law enforcement will be notified. The bill includes several insertions that expand the law's scope to encompass ammunition, specifies that the Department of Law Enforcement is not required to maintain records of purchasers with unique approval numbers, and outlines penalties for providing false information during the purchasing process. It also offers liability protection for licensed dealers who adhere to the established procedures, with the act set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
