The bill aims to enhance the protection of constitutional rights related to firearms and ammunition sales in Wyoming. It introduces new provisions that prohibit the disclosure or use of information regarding firearms transactions, specifically preventing any state or local government entity from maintaining lists or registries of privately owned firearms or their owners. The bill establishes penalties for violations, including misdemeanor charges and civil actions, and mandates that the Attorney General investigate alleged violations. Additionally, it outlines the definitions of key terms such as "firearms retailer," "ammunition," and "merchant," while also clarifying the responsibilities of merchant servicers regarding the categorization of transactions.

Key amendments include the creation of new definitions and the establishment of civil penalties for non-compliance with the act. The Attorney General is required to take action against violators, and individuals affected by violations can petition for investigations. The bill also emphasizes that no merchant servicer can discriminate against firearms-related transactions based on merchant category codes. Overall, the legislation seeks to reinforce the rights of firearm owners and ensure fair treatment in commerce related to firearms and ammunition.
