granting a sales and compensating use tax exemption for the sale of items designed to ensure the safe handling and storage of firearms
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a sales tax exemption for safe storage depositories, locks, and related items under the firearms topic. This primarily affects storage-minors by lowering the cost of compliance with safe-storage requirements (including those for minors in NY penal law 265.45), which expands access to such devices. It is tagged neutral under firearms/other because it is a tax incentive rather than a direct change to storage rules, mandates, or prohibitions.
