The proposed "Jaimes Law" amends section 790.065 of the Florida Statutes to mandate background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition, aligning these requirements with existing firearm regulations. Key provisions include the necessity for licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers to obtain a completed form from potential buyers, collect a processing fee for criminal history checks, and seek verification from the Department of Law Enforcement. The bill outlines exceptions for individuals with valid concealed weapons licenses and certain transfers that do not involve the intent to use the ammunition unlawfully. Additionally, it introduces new language regarding conditions for ammunition transfers without background checks, emphasizing the transferor's responsibility to ensure the transferee will not use the ammunition unlawfully.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a conditional approval process for firearm and ammunition purchases, requiring the Department of Law Enforcement to provide a conditional approval number within a specified timeframe. If a buyer is later found to be prohibited from ownership, the department must revoke this approval and notify local law enforcement. The bill also includes penalties for violations such as providing false information during the purchase process and acquiring firearms or ammunition for prohibited individuals. It clarifies that licensed dealers are not liable for damages resulting from compliance with the law and outlines exceptions for law enforcement purchases. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
