AI Summary
This bill, known as Amya's Law for Child Access Prevention, enacts new provisions and amends existing laws to promote the safe storage of firearms. It introduces a new section that defines "secure gun storage or safety device" and establishes a nonrefundable income tax credit for taxpayers who purchase these devices, with a maximum credit of $250 per taxable year, to be claimed in a specific order among other tax credits. Additionally, the bill exempts the sale of these secure gun storage or safety devices from sales and use tax, and requires vendors selling firearms to provide a notice about this exemption. The bill also creates a mechanism for temporarily storing firearms with licensed dealers or law enforcement agencies, including the provision of a pamphlet on mental health resources and safe storage, and outlines procedures for unclaimed firearms. Furthermore, it amends existing definitions and tax provisions related to sales and income tax.
