Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires development and annual distribution to parents of informational materials on safe firearm storage laws (Penal Law §§ 265.45 and 265.50, which impose storage requirements to prevent child access). This promotes awareness and compliance with existing storage rules for minors without altering the law itself, yielding a restricts tag for storage-minors and neutral for the informational mandate.
