Bill > A02241

This bill amends the New York State tax law to create a sales and use tax exemption for specific firearm safety products. The exemption applies to items like safe storage depositories (as defined in the penal law), firearm safety locks, trigger locks, and other products designed to promote the safe handling and storage of firearms. By removing sales tax from these items, the bill aims to make safety equipment more affordable and potentially encourage responsible firearm ownership. The tax exemption would take effect immediately upon the bill's passage. The provision is being added to section 1115 of the tax law as a new paragraph (47), which means these safety items will be excluded from sales tax calculations, reducing the overall cost for consumers purchasing these safety-related products.
