SB 273: Enact the Keep Them Safe Act

SB 273, titled "Enact the Keep Them Safe Act," creates new guidelines for the voluntary storage of firearms and provides civil immunity to individuals who store firearms for others under these guidelines. It directly affects gun owners, family members, or others who voluntarily store firearms for safekeeping, such as when leaving guns with relatives or neighbors. The key provision grants legal protection (civil immunity) to those who store firearms in compliance with the new rules, shielding them from lawsuits if the firearms are later used improperly. This bill changes the legal landscape by encouraging safe storage practices through immunity, rather than imposing new restrictions.

SB 459: Exempt motor vehicle donations from casual sales limits

SB 459 amends state law to explicitly exempt charitable donations of motor vehicles from the limit on casual sales. Currently, individuals are restricted to making no more than five casual sales of vehicles within a twelve-month period without a dealer license. This bill clarifies that the law does not apply when a person donates a vehicle to a nonprofit organization, distinguishing these transactions from sales. The change ensures that people giving cars to charities are not penalized or restricted under the existing casual sales provisions.
