An Act to Ensure Responsible Business Practices by Licensed Firearms Dealers
What it does: As introduced, requires firearm dealers to meet state security standards, background-check and train employees, keep records, report thefts, annually certify compliance (false certification is a Class C crime), and post notices on child safety, background checks and suicide prevention.
