Bill > HB330

This bill amends Ohio's sales tax law to create a sales tax holiday for firearm safety and storage devices during March, April, November, and December of each year. Specifically, the bill defines "firearm safety devices" as devices designed to prevent unauthorized access to a firearm or prevent it from being operated without first deactivating the device, and "firearm storage devices" as containers or enclosures secured by a combination lock, key lock, or biometric lock that safely store firearms. The tax exemption applies to these devices sold during the specified months, with the exception of safety devices already installed on a firearm. The bill requires the tax commissioner to provide notice to vendors about this two-month exemption period before December and August of each year. The tax holiday is intended to make these safety-related items more affordable and accessible to firearm owners, potentially encouraging responsible gun ownership and storage practices.
