AN ACT To amend Part 5 of Article 4 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to Brady Law Regulations, so as to require a five-day waiting period for the purchase or transfer of certain firearms; to provide for exceptions; to provide for criminal penalties; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's Brady Law Regulations to require a five-day waiting period for the transfer or purchase of certain firearms by licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers, with some exceptions. The bill allows the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check to be conducted during this five-day period. It also requires licensed dealers to make records available for law enforcement inspections during normal business hours for criminal investigations. Violations of the five-day waiting period or using fraud to avoid it would result in felony charges and imprisonment of one to five years.
