Bill > HF28

This bill requires criminal background checks for all firearm transfers between private parties, with some exceptions. It amends existing state law to require the transferee to present a valid transferee permit and a current government-issued ID, and the transferor and transferee must complete a record of transfer that includes copies of their IDs and the transferee's permit. The bill also imposes penalties for failing to produce the record of transfer upon request by law enforcement. The bill includes several exemptions, such as for transfers to immediate family members, law enforcement, and during certain recreational activities. The bill takes effect on August 1, 2019 and applies to crimes committed on or after that date.
