This bill specifies that any person who is not a licensed dealer must require that a background check be conducted of a perspective transferee prior to the transfer of a firearm, with certain exceptions described in the bill. No transfer may be completed until the prospective firearm transferor has obtained approval of the transfer from the central repository, as defined, after a background check.
A licensed dealer or law enforcement agency may charge a fee for conducting a background check, which shall not exceed $25 or the cost of conducting the background check, whichever is greater.
This bill contains penalty provisions.
This bill is similar to HB 1379 (2023).
