↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Adds a new provision stating that no licensing officer, local government or employee shall be liable for injury or damage resulting from a gunsmith's or firearms dealer's failure to comply with the warning requirements or from acts/omissions in implementing or enforcing the subdivision.
No licensing officer, local government, or any employee thereof shall be liable to any person by reason of any injury or damage resulting from the failure of any gunsmith or firearms dealer to comply with this subdivision or in consequence of any act or omission in connection with the implementation or enforcement of this subdivision.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends an existing penal-law requirement for suicide-risk and unintentional-death warning notices by explicitly adding rifles and shotguns to the language that previously referred only to 'weapons' or 'firearms'; this is a technical clarification with no substantive change to the underlying mandate. It also adds liability protection for government actors involved in the warning regime (shielding them from suits over dealer noncompliance), which expands the industry-liability subtag by reducing potential legal exposure. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
