Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition on entry to gun shows for anyone under 12 (firearms/other, restricts by limiting child access to gun environments) and strengthens requirements for background checks at gun shows by mandating exhibitor notification and police coordination for NICS checks on all sales/transfers including long guns (firearms/purchase-background-checks, restricts by expanding check requirements). The amendments to existing paragraphs and addition of (d) are the substantive changes; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
