Bill > HB449

This bill proposes an amendment to Missouri state law (specifically Chapter 571) that requires ammunition retailers to verify the purchaser's age using a form of photographic identification that displays the buyer's date of birth before completing a sale. The new section (571.061) mandates that sellers must confirm the purchaser is legally old enough to buy ammunition by checking a photo ID, which ensures that only individuals of the legally permitted age can purchase ammunition. This requirement is designed to add an additional layer of age verification and potentially reduce access to ammunition for minors or those who are not legally allowed to purchase it. The bill is straightforward in its language, placing a clear responsibility on retailers to check identification before selling ammunition, though it does not specify the exact legal age for ammunition purchase in the text provided.
