AI Summary
This bill amends Rhode Island's sales and use tax laws to exempt certain firearm safety equipment from taxation, meaning these items will no longer be subject to sales tax. Specifically, the exemption applies to firearm safety equipment, storage devices, gun safes, gun cabinets, gun vaults, gun cases, strong boxes, cable locks, trigger locks, and biometric locks. This change aims to make these safety items more affordable and accessible, thereby promoting responsible gun ownership. The bill also states that this exemption will take effect immediately upon its passage into law.
