AB 324 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: waiting period for purchase of handguns.

AB 324 amends Wisconsin law to require a 48-hour waiting period after a background check approval before a handgun can be purchased. It specifically states that a firearm dealer must wait 48 hours from the time they receive confirmation of a clean background check from the Department of Justice. For cases where the background check is unclear, the bill mandates that the Department must resolve the issue and notify the dealer within 5 working days. This bill directly affects handgun buyers and firearms dealers by changing the timing rules for firearm sales.
