Jaime’s Law
HR 7564, "Jaime’s Law," amends federal law to require background checks for ammunition transfers between unlicensed individuals. It mandates that unlicensed people cannot directly buy or receive ammunition; instead, they must go through a licensed dealer who conducts background checks and provides required notices. The bill specifically exempts transfers between family members, law enforcement, temporary safety-related transfers, and certain sporting activities. It does not create a national ammunition registry and leaves state laws intact.
