Bill > H2814

This bill aims to create a commission to review and approve claims for a smart gun technology tax incentive program. The bill defines "smart gun" as a firearm that can detect its authorized user through identifying biometric technology, Bluetooth, or other technology-based identifying information, and whose safety mechanism will be engaged unless the firearm has identified an authorized user. The bill also provides a refundable jobs credit against the tax liability of corporations that invest in research, development, manufacturing, or new employee hiring related to smart gun technology. Additionally, the bill imposes a penalty on the production, delivery, or sale of any firearm, rifle, or shotgun that is not considered a "smart gun" as defined in the bill, starting on January 1, 2030.
