Weapons: firearms; age requirement for purchase of a firearm; increase. Amends sec. 2 of 1927 PA 372 (MCL 28.422). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5753'26

This bill proposes to increase the minimum age requirement for purchasing firearms in Michigan from 18 to 21 years old. It directly affects all individuals seeking to buy firearms within the state, requiring them to obtain a license before making a purchase. The legislation mandates that sellers verify the buyer's age and license status, with penalties for non-compliance including fines up to $250. The bill also maintains existing requirements for background checks, mental health adjudications, and residency status while adding the age restriction as a new condition for firearm acquisition.
