Sale or Transfer of Ammunition
SB 256, titled "Sale or Transfer of Ammunition" and citing "Jaime's Law," requires state-run background checks for all ammunition sales and transfers between individuals. It directly affects ammunition sellers, private sellers, and buyers who purchase or receive ammunition. The bill mandates that these transactions must undergo a background check through the state's existing system before completion. This creates a new requirement for ammunition transactions, similar to firearm purchase checks, but applies specifically to ammunition.
