Sales and use tax exemption for firearm storage units modified, and exemption provided for firearm safety devices.

HF 1203 modifies Minnesota's sales and use tax exemption for secure firearm storage units and adds a new exemption for firearm safety devices. The bill defines "firearm safety devices" as products that prevent unauthorized operation (like trigger locks) and "secure firearm storage units" as locked containers specifically designed for firearm storage. It also prohibits sellers from collecting or sharing personal data about purchasers of these exempt items, treating such information as private data under existing law. The changes take effect for sales after June 30, 2025.
