What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill imposes a tax on a firearms manufacturer at the rate of 0.5 percent of

the manufacturer's list price for each firearm made by the manufacturer that is

offered for sale in this state. The tax collected under this bill is to be used by the

Department of Justice to provide services to victims of crimes involving firearms.

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.
