Bill > S0146

This bill, cited as "Jaime's Law," requires background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition, with some exceptions. The bill amends existing Florida law to establish procedures for ammunition sales similar to those already in place for firearm sales. The bill provides exceptions for transfers at shooting ranges or while hunting, trapping, or fishing, as long as the seller has no reason to believe the ammunition will be used unlawfully. The bill also imposes penalties for providing false information or fraudulently acquiring ammunition. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2023.
