Yesterday, the Senate Veterans and Public Safety Committee passed Senate Bill 148, The Second Amendment Privacy Act. The bill was quickly sent to the Senate floor where it passed by a vote of 25-7. This legislation now goes to the House where it will receive a committee assignment.
SB 148 will prohibit the use of firearm-related Merchant Category Codes, which could be used to track gun owners and create a registry of lawful purchases. This is an important protection for gun owners, protecting private purchasing information from abuse by third parties.
NRA-ILA is actively working to pass this legislation and will keep you informed as it moves through the legislative process.
