Bill > H0559

This bill proposes to establish a voluntary firearms licensing system in Vermont that permits a person to obtain a license from the Department of Public Safety to purchase a firearm. A person who has obtained this license is not subject to the 72-hour waiting period requirement when purchasing a firearm. The bill outlines the application process, eligibility requirements, and procedures for issuing, renewing, and revoking the license. It also establishes a $35 fee for the license, which would be deposited into the General Fund and used to support the firearms licensing program.
