Why the model tagged it this way: The bill deletes the definition of "dealer of ammunition" and removes ammunition dealers from the mandate that payment card networks and merchant acquirers use the specific firearms/ammunition merchant category code, thereby reducing regulatory burdens and tracking specifically tied to ammunition sales under the prior 2024 law.
