What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a person who commercially sells or transfers a firearm to

provide the purchaser or transferee with either a secure, lockable container that is

designed to store a firearm or a trigger lock for the firearm. A seller or transferor who

violates this requirement is subject to a fine of up to $500 or imprisonment for up to

30 days, or both.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report.
