Bill > H2188

This bill mandates that individuals applying for or renewing a firearm license must provide a comprehensive list of all handguns they own and a certificate of insurance verifying a policy of at least $250,000 that covers harm or damage arising from the use of each listed weapon, with medical bills having priority for payment and bills owed to government entities having super-priority; failure to maintain this insurance can result in up to five years imprisonment. Additionally, the bill modifies the composition of a board to include representatives from gun owner advocacy groups and law enforcement, clarifies that sellers or owners are responsible for making certain gun-related records, requires a minimum of 20 hours of firearms safety training including practical shooting for license applicants, limits the sale of firearms to one per person within a 30-day period, mandates that all firearms sold must include an approved safety device to prevent unauthorized discharge, and significantly increases mandatory minimum prison sentences and fines for distributing, selling, or transferring multiple firearms within a twelve-month period, with stricter penalties for larger quantities and limitations on parole or sentence reduction until the mandatory minimum is served.
