Bill Summary
CONCERNING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RETAIL SALE OF AMMUNITION FOR FIREARMS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DELIVERY OF AMMUNITION SOLD AT RETAIL.
AI Summary
This bill establishes new requirements for the retail sale and delivery of firearms ammunition in Colorado. It defines ammunition as including ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, and propellant powders, and sets a minimum purchase age of 21 years old for most ammunition sales. Retail ammunition vendors must verify a purchaser's age through government-issued photo identification and cannot display ammunition in a manner that allows direct customer access without vendor assistance. The bill includes several exceptions to the age restriction, such as for shooting range use, military members and veterans, individuals with hunter education certification, and persons named in protection orders. For ammunition deliveries, delivery services must verify the recipient is 21 or older, obtain a signature, and ensure proper packaging. The law does not apply to wholesale ammunition sales or rimfire ammunition. Violations of these requirements are initially considered a civil infraction, with subsequent offenses becoming a class 1 misdemeanor. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes a provision for potential voter referendum. The legislation aims to create more controlled and age-restricted access to ammunition sales and delivery in Colorado.
