Bill > SB0848

This bill proposes to amend Michigan's penal code by adding a new provision to Section 223, which deals with firearm sales. Specifically, it introduces a mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases, requiring that a seller cannot deliver a firearm to a buyer until at least three days after the sale is completed. Violating this new waiting period would be considered a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a fine of up to $500, or both. This change aims to provide a brief delay between the purchase and the acquisition of a firearm, a measure often referred to as a "waiting period" in gun control discussions.
