HB 4026 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Use tax: exemptions; sunset date on exemption for firearm safety devices; extend. Amends sec. 4ll of 1937 PA 94 (MCL 205.94ll).

HB 4026 exempts firearm safety devices from Michigan's sales and use tax through December 31, 2024, directly affecting gun owners purchasing these devices. The bill defines "firearm safety devices" as trigger locks, secure storage containers (like gun safes or lockboxes requiring keys/combinations), but excludes display cases. Retail sellers must provide written notices to buyers and post visible signage at points of sale explaining the tax exemption. This is a temporary measure with a sunset date, not a permanent policy change.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted to remove unnecessary spacing and correct capitalization errors, while retaining the core policy of exempting firearm safety devices from Michigan's use tax. The substantive requirements for sellers to provide notices and the definition of exempt devices remain unchanged.
TECHNICAL

Removed excessive blank lines and inconsistent spacing throughout the document to improve readability.

Corrected capitalization errors in the title and the phrase 'The People of the State of Michigan' to standard lowercase 'the people'.

Fixed a text overlap error in the tax exemption notice where the phrase 'through December 31, 2024' was accidentally duplicated.
