The proposed "Jaime's Law" seeks to amend section 790.065 of the Florida Statutes to mandate background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition, in addition to firearms. Licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers will be required 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 specific exceptions to this requirement, such as for individuals with valid concealed weapons licenses or certain transfers of ammunition under defined conditions.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that the Department of Law Enforcement will maintain an automated database of individuals prohibited from purchasing firearms or ammunition due to mental health issues. It mandates the sharing of relevant data with federal agencies and other states to verify eligibility for firearm sales. Key changes include the insertion of "ammunition" alongside "firearm" in various sections, ensuring that the same regulations apply to both. The bill also details the responsibilities of the Department of Law Enforcement regarding record maintenance and confidentiality, as well as the consequences for providing false information during the purchasing process. The act is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2026.
