This bill requires all sales or transfers of firearms or ammunition to be processed by a federally licensed firearms dealer who is first required to conduct a background check in accordance with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to determine if the purchaser or transferee is legally barred from possessing a firearm. This bill does not require federally licensed dealers to ask for any additional information or take any additional steps beyond those actions currently required by federal law. The licensed dealer may require the purchaser or transferee to pay a fee not to exceed $25 for administrative costs incurred by the licensed dealer and pay other fees pursuant to federal, state, and local law. This bill prohibits the state or a political subdivision from requiring a dealer to disclose transactions conducted under the provisions of this bill.
A violation of a provision of this section is a class B misdemeanor. Each day a violation of this section is committed or continued shall be considered a separate violation and punished accordingly.
