Bill Summary

FIREARMS -- Adds to existing law to prohibit the use of merchant firearms codes.

AI Summary

This bill adds new sections to existing Idaho law to prohibit the use of "merchant firearms codes" by payment networks. Merchant firearms codes are indicators that identify whether a merchant is a firearms retailer or whether a payment card transaction involves the purchase of firearms, firearm accessories or components, or ammunition. The bill prohibits payment networks from requiring the use of such codes in a way that distinguishes firearms retailers from other merchants, and from taking certain discriminatory actions against firearms retailers based on the assignment or non-assignment of a firearms code. The bill also prohibits the disclosure of financial records containing firearms code information, except as required by law, and provides for enforcement by the state attorney general and the ability for affected parties to file legal actions.
