The bill enacts two new sections, R.S. 38:2216.1 and R.S. 39:1602.2, which prohibit public entities from entering into contracts with companies that discriminate against firearm and ammunition industries. It defines key terms such as "company," "firearm," "ammunition," and "firearm entity," and outlines what constitutes discrimination against these entities. Specifically, a company is considered to discriminate if it refuses to engage in trade, refrains from continuing a business relationship, or terminates an existing relationship based solely on the entity's status as a firearm entity or trade association. However, companies are not deemed discriminatory if their actions are in compliance with laws or based on traditional business reasons.

The provisions apply to contracts valued at $100,000 or more, primarily funded by public money, and entered into or renewed after August 1, 2024. Public entities must obtain written verification from companies affirming they do not discriminate against firearm entities or trade associations. The attorney general is granted authority to enforce these requirements and can recover reasonable costs and attorney fees if legal action is taken successfully. The bill aims to ensure that public contracts are not awarded to companies that engage in discriminatory practices against the firearm industry.
