Bill Summary
Waiting Period For Firearm Sales
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Mexico law to require a 14-calendar day waiting period before the transfer of firearm ownership, possession, or control to a buyer, even after a federal background check has been conducted. The bill exempts certain sales, such as those between licensed firearms dealers, law enforcement agencies, and immediate family members. Violations of the waiting period requirement are punishable as misdemeanors, with each unlawful sale constituting a separate offense.
