Bill > SB00371

This bill requires the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection to obtain a federal firearms license (FFL) to help facilitate legal firearm transfers between individuals in Connecticut. By acquiring an FFL from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Commissioner will be able to ensure that person-to-person firearm transfers comply with federal regulations. This means the Commissioner would serve as an intermediary to help verify that firearm transfers meet legal requirements, such as conducting background checks and maintaining proper documentation, which helps promote responsible gun ownership and transfer practices. The bill amends Title 29 of the state's general statutes to create this new requirement for the Commissioner's office, with the goal of standardizing and regulating firearm transfers in a manner consistent with federal guidelines.
