What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law allows a resident of Wisconsin or an entity maintaining a place of

business in Wisconsin to obtain a rifle or shotgun in a state that is contiguous to

Wisconsin if the transfer complies with federal law and the laws of both states. This

bill eliminates the requirement that the state be a contiguous state.
