Bill > S1124

This bill amends Florida's current law on the mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases. It revises the waiting period to apply only to handguns, rather than all firearms. The bill removes the provision that allows the waiting period to expire upon completion of a records check, and it revises the records requirements to apply only to handgun sales. The bill also removes certain exceptions to the mandatory waiting period, such as for purchases by concealed carry license holders, trade-ins, and purchases of rifles or shotguns. The bill maintains the 3-day waiting period, excluding weekends and holidays, for handgun purchases at retail. Violating the waiting period requirements can result in third-degree felony charges.
