Bill H.150 proposes to reinstate the exemption from the 72-hour waiting period for firearms transfers specifically at gun shows. The bill amends 13 V.S.A. § 4019a by adding a new subsection (g), which states that the waiting period does not apply to firearms transfers occurring at gun shows. Additionally, the bill defines a "gun show" as an event sponsored by either a national, state, or local organization focused on firearms or by a community organization that promotes the collection or competitive use of firearms.

The bill also includes a provision that it will take effect upon passage. This legislative change aims to facilitate the transfer of firearms at gun shows without the previously mandated waiting period, thereby altering the current regulations surrounding firearm transactions in Vermont.
