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.
