Bill > HR816

This bill, the Safety Enhancements for Communities Using Reasonable and Effective Firearm Storage Act (SECURE Firearm Storage Act), amends Title 18 of the United States Code to require federally licensed firearms importers, manufacturers, and dealers to meet certain security requirements for storing their firearms inventory, business records, and premises when not open for business. The key provisions include requiring firearms to be secured with a hardened steel rod or stored in a locked safe, cabinet, or vault, and mandating secure storage of business records. The bill also establishes penalties for non-compliance, including civil fines and potential suspension or revocation of the federal firearms license. The provisions take effect at different times, with the firearm storage requirements becoming effective one year after the bill's enactment and the paper records storage requirements taking effect 90 days after enactment.
