The bill H.150 proposes to reinstate the exemption from the 72-hour waiting period for firearms transfers specifically at gun shows. It amends the existing law under 13 V.S.A. § 4019a by adding a new subsection (g) that states this 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 collection or sporting use, or by a community organization that hosts similar events.

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 potentially increasing the accessibility of firearms at such events.
