Bill > HR3034

This bill, known as the "No Frivolous Application for Short-Barreled Shotguns Act" (NFA SBS Act), proposes several changes to federal firearm regulations, specifically related to short-barreled shotguns (shotguns with barrels less than 18 inches long). The bill removes short-barreled shotguns from the definition of firearms under the National Firearms Act, effectively eliminating special registration and licensing requirements for these weapons. It also modifies federal statutes to remove references that previously treated short-barreled shotguns differently from other firearms, and preempts state and local laws that impose additional taxes, marking, recordkeeping, or registration requirements on such shotguns. Importantly, the bill mandates that within 365 days of enactment, the Attorney General must destroy all existing federal records related to short-barreled shotgun registrations and transfers. The changes apply to calendar quarters beginning more than 90 days after the act's enactment, and aim to reduce regulatory burdens on gun owners by standardizing the legal treatment of short-barreled shotguns with other firearms under federal law.
