Bill > HB2385

This bill proposes to exempt safe gun storage devices from state sales tax by adding a new provision (subsection 51) to the existing list of sales tax exemptions in West Virginia. The exemption would be part of the state's tax code, allowing consumers to purchase safe gun storage devices without paying sales tax. This change aims to potentially encourage the use of gun safety devices by making them more affordable. The bill specifies that the amendment will take effect on July 1, 2025, meaning safe gun storage devices sold on or after that date would be exempt from the state's sales tax. By removing the sales tax on these devices, the legislation seeks to reduce the financial barrier to purchasing safety equipment that can help prevent accidental shootings and improve overall gun safety in the home.
