AN ACT REQUIRING THE COMMISSIONER OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND PUBLIC PROTECTION TO ACQUIRE A FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSE.

SB 371 requires the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection to obtain a federal firearms license. This procedural bill ensures the Commissioner complies with federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) rules when facilitating person-to-person firearm transfers. It directly affects the Commissioner's office and administrative processes for handling firearm transfers, without changing state gun laws or ownership rights. The bill focuses solely on aligning state operations with existing federal licensing requirements.
