HB1773

Firearms; criminal history record information check before transfer, penalties.

Status:
Killed

Chief Patron:
Ken Plum (D)

Session:
2017 Regular Session

Summary

As Introduced. Transfer of firearms; criminal history record information check; penalties.

Requires that a criminal history record information check be performed on the prospective transferee before a vendor may transfer firearms at a gun show. A violation is a Class 6 felony. A definition of "vendor" is added. The bill also requires that the promoter of a firearms show post notice of the requirement for a criminal history record information check and provide vendors with access to licensed dealers who will conduct the criminal history record information check. The bill repeals a provision added by the 2016 Session of the General Assembly that requires the Department of State Police to be available to perform background checks for non-dealer sales at firearms shows if requested by a party involved in a transaction.
