AN ACT CONCERNING FIREARM PERMITS AND TRANSFERS.

HB 7056 requires retail firearm sellers (those selling 10+ handguns annually or federally licensed dealers) to obtain a permit from local authorities, which must include proof of a valid pistol permit and compliance with local zoning rules - though personal collection sales are exempt from zoning checks. It also establishes a "temporary state permit" for residents to carry handguns, requiring successful completion of a state-approved safety course (including safe storage instruction) and passing criminal background checks. The law applies directly to firearm sellers, residents applying for carry permits, and tribal law enforcement units in specific cases. Key changes include updated training requirements for permits and exemptions for personal firearm collections.
