Bill > HB0143

This bill establishes an annual sales tax holiday for firearm safety devices and firearm storage devices during the third full week of February, which will also be commemorated as Firearm Safety Week. The bill defines firearm safety devices as items designed to prevent unauthorized firearm access or operation, and firearm storage devices as secure containers for safely storing firearms with locks. During this one-week period, these items will be exempt from sales tax, with specific rules governing how the tax holiday works, including provisions for layaway sales, exchanges, returns, and order processing. The bill aims to educate the public about safe firearm storage while recognizing the rights of law-abiding citizens under the Second Amendment. The sales tax holiday will take effect on January 1, 2026, and the bill includes detailed guidelines for sellers and purchasers to understand and implement the tax exemption, such as how to handle discounts, exchanges, and returns during and after the exemption period.
