This bill aims to enhance the protection of firearm ownership rights in Nebraska by prohibiting governmental entities and officials from maintaining lists or registries of privately owned firearms and their owners, except in specific circumstances related to criminal investigations. It also restricts payment card networks and covered entities from using merchant category codes that would distinguish firearm retailers from other retailers, thereby preventing any potential discrimination against firearm-related transactions.

To enforce these provisions, the bill grants the Attorney General the authority to investigate violations and issue written notices to offending parties, requiring them to cease such violations within thirty business days. If compliance is not achieved, the Attorney General can seek an injunction and impose civil fines for continued violations. The bill establishes that the remedies provided are exclusive, and it includes a defense for entities that can demonstrate that the use of a merchant category code was legally mandated.
