A 2882 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to warnings to be posted and provided by firearms dealers

This bill requires licensed firearms dealers and gunsmiths to display and distribute specific written warnings to customers when selling or delivering weapons. The mandated notices must state that access to firearms in the home increases risks of suicide, domestic violence deaths, and accidental injuries, while also providing the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Dealers must post these signs at their sales locations, give a copy to every buyer at the time of purchase, and provide a copy to new license holders when their permits are issued. Local police officers will enforce these requirements, with penalties including fines or jail time for non-compliance, though the law does not override any stricter local regulations that may already exist.
