This bill proposes significant changes to the regulation of handguns in Nebraska by amending several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes. Key provisions include the elimination of existing handgun purchase requirements, specifically the need for individuals to obtain a certificate before purchasing, leasing, renting, or receiving a handgun. The bill also modifies the criminal history record checks related to firearms, ensuring that the Nebraska State Patrol is provided with necessary information to determine an individual's eligibility to receive a concealed carry permit or to possess firearms under state or federal law.

Additionally, the bill repeals multiple sections of the current law that pertain to handgun regulations, including those that outline the consent form process and the requirements for dealers when selling handguns. The amendments aim to streamline the process for purchasing handguns while maintaining certain checks to ensure public safety. Overall, the bill seeks to harmonize and simplify the existing legal framework surrounding handgun ownership and transfer in Nebraska.
