The bill enacts two new sections, R.S. 38:2216.1 and R.S. 39:1602.2, which establish prohibitions against public contracts with companies that discriminate against firearm and ammunition industries. It defines key terms such as "company," "firearm," "ammunition," and "firearm trade association," and outlines what constitutes discrimination against these entities. The bill specifies that companies cannot refuse to engage in business or terminate existing relationships based solely on an entity's status as a firearm entity or trade association. However, it allows for exceptions if actions are taken to comply with laws or for legitimate business reasons unrelated to the entity's status.

Additionally, the bill mandates that any public entity entering into contracts valued at $100,000 or more must obtain written verification from the contracting company affirming that it does not discriminate against firearm entities. The attorney general is granted the authority to enforce these provisions and can recover costs and attorney fees if legal action is taken successfully. The provisions will apply to contracts renewed or entered into on or after August 1, 2024, with certain exceptions for sole-source providers or when no bids are received from compliant companies.
