SB 238: Limit liability for firearms dealers re: firearm hold agreements

SB 238 limits legal liability for federally licensed firearms dealers when handling "hold agreements" (where a customer reserves a firearm but doesn't take it immediately, often due to background check processing). It directly affects licensed dealers and customers using such hold arrangements. The bill creates a new legal shield in Ohio law (section 2923.22), protecting dealers from lawsuits if they follow proper procedures for these holds. This changes the legal landscape by reducing a specific risk for dealers managing firearm reservations.
