Bill > S1242

This bill aims to prevent illegal firearm trafficking by implementing several new regulations and penalties. Key provisions include making certain firearm purchase records available to law enforcement for enforcement purposes, requiring firearm sellers to obtain a signed declaration from buyers confirming they haven't purchased another firearm within the last 30 days (unless they are an exempt person), and ensuring sellers verify this with the criminal history systems board before completing a sale. The bill also establishes a new offense, making it illegal for individuals to purchase, rent, or lease more than one firearm or large capacity weapon (defined as a firearm with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition) within a 30-day period, with specific exceptions for law enforcement, military, licensed collectors, and certain exchanges. Penalties for violating this 30-day purchase limit range from fines and jail time for a first offense to more severe punishments for subsequent offenses. Additionally, sellers who knowingly sell to someone who has violated this limit also face significant fines and potential imprisonment. The bill also amends existing laws to include convictions for violating this new purchase limit as grounds for denying or revoking firearm identification cards, licenses, and permits.
