Bill > H0151

This bill, called "Jaime's Law," amends Florida's law on the sale and delivery of firearms and ammunition. The key provisions are: 1. Requires background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition, similar to the existing requirements for firearms. There are some exceptions for transfers related to shooting ranges, hunting, trapping, or fishing. 2. Expands the review of records to check if a potential buyer or transferee is prohibited from possessing ammunition due to convictions, mental health issues, or other factors. 3. Provides a process for individuals previously adjudicated as mentally defective or committed to a mental institution to petition the court for relief from firearm and ammunition disabilities. 4. Establishes penalties for providing false information during the purchase or transfer of ammunition, as well as for licensed dealers who violate the new requirements. 5. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2023.
