Regulation changes of transfers of pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons to include ammunition

This bill amends Minnesota firearm transfer laws to explicitly include ammunition when regulating the transfer of pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons. It requires applicants for transferee permits to provide detailed personal information and authorize the release of relevant mental health records to local police authorities. The legislation also establishes clearer procedures for denying permits, including written explanations for denials, opportunities for applicants to submit additional documentation, and restrictions on reapplying within six months of a denial. These changes apply to permits issued on or after August 1, 2026, and affect individuals seeking to transfer firearms and ammunition in Minnesota.
