Bill > HB979

This bill requires that all sales or transfers of firearms and ammunition be processed through a licensed firearms dealer. It defines key terms such as "law enforcement officer", "licensed dealer", and "person". The bill outlines the process for licensed dealers to facilitate sales or transfers between parties where neither is a licensed dealer, including conducting background checks and allowing the dealer to charge a fee. It also provides exceptions to these requirements for certain law enforcement, military, and repair personnel, as well as transfers between certain family members. Violations of the bill's provisions would be considered a class B misdemeanor, and licensed dealer violations would be reported to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
