Firearms Retailer Code of Conduct Act of 2023

HR 2753, the Firearms Retailer Code of Conduct Act of 2023, requires licensed firearm retailers, manufacturers, and importers to implement new safety protocols. It mandates annual training for employees on recognizing straw purchases, illegal transfers, and self-harm risks, including a 20-question exam with a 70% passing requirement. Retailers must display written protocols identifying red flags (like multiple purchases or accomplices) and maintain liability insurance covering negligent transfers, unless they certify selling fewer than 20 firearms annually. The law takes effect 545 days after enactment, with penalties including fines up to $10,000 or license suspension for violations.
