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 specified 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 checks not to exceed $25 or the cost of conducting the background check, whichever is greater. This bill contains penalty provisions.
This bill is the same as HB 2487 (2024).
