Bill Summary

Specifies that the seller of ammunition must verify the age of the purchaser

AI Summary

This bill requires ammunition retailers in Missouri to verify the age of purchasers by examining a government-issued photo identification that shows the buyer's date of birth, ensuring that the purchaser meets the legal age requirements for buying ammunition under federal law. The proposed legislation adds a new section (571.061) to Missouri's existing statutes, specifically in Chapter 571 which covers weapons and offenses. By mandating age verification through official photo ID, the bill aims to prevent the sale of ammunition to individuals who are legally too young to purchase it, adding an additional layer of regulatory control to ammunition sales in the state.
