Relating to requiring a national instant criminal background check in connection with private firearm transfers; creating a criminal offense.

HB 432 requires a national instant criminal background check for every private transfer of a firearm between individuals, such as sales or gifts not conducted through a licensed dealer. This law directly affects private sellers and buyers in these transactions, as well as law enforcement responsible for enforcing the requirement. The bill creates a criminal offense for anyone who transfers a firearm without completing the background check. It aims to prevent firearms from being sold to individuals with certain criminal records, aligning with standard background check protocols used for dealer sales.
