Firearms; five day waiting period, penalty.
What changed between versions
Formatting and layout changes occurred during the legislative process, including spacing adjustments, page numbering, and the addition of official enrollment markers ("ENROLLED" and "Approved"), but no substantive policy language was altered.
The bill status changed from "Introduced" (January 8, 2025) to "Enrolled" (officially approved), indicating the legislation has been signed into law and is now effective.
The enrolled version confirms the $2 fee for in-state transactions and $5 fee for out-of-state transactions will be collected by dealers and deposited into a special fund for the State Police to cover background check costs.
Penalties for violations are established, including Class 6 felonies for dealers who willfully sell firearms in violation of the waiting period or background check requirements, and Class 1 misdemeanors for purchasers who fail to comply.
