HF 2464: Relating to merchant category codes for transactions involving firearms and ammunition, firearm registries and records, and providing civil penalties

Signed into law

What it does

This bill relates to records and payment card transactions of firearms and ammunition. Under the bill, except for records kept during the regular course of a criminal investigation or criminal prosecution, or as otherwise required by law, a government entity shall not knowingly keep or cause to be kept a record or registry of privately owned firearms, or of the owners of privately owned firearms. “Government entity” and “firearm” are defined in the bill. The bill prohibits a financial institution, or an agent of a financial institution, from requiring the use of a firearms code in a way that distinguishes a firearms retailer from other retailers.
