An Act to Ensure Responsible Business Practices by Licensed Firearms Dealers

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill, called the "Firearm Dealer Responsible Business Practices Act," requires the Department of Public Safety to create rules for firearm dealers. These rules would set minimum security standards for stores and gun shows, require background checks and training for employees, and mandate specific record-keeping practices. Dealers would also need to post signs about child safety, background checks, suicide prevention, and firearm safety courses.
