Explicitly requires denial of ammunition purchases for people subject to a temporary or final extreme risk protection order, so less ability to acquire ammunition for those under such orders.
or a temporary or final extreme risk protection order issued under article sixty-three-A of the civil practice law and rules.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subdivision to Penal Law 400.03 that mandates denial of ammunition background checks for individuals prohibited under state or federal law from possessing shotguns or rifles, or subject to extreme risk protection orders. This directly restricts ammunition purchases via expanded background check enforcement and ties into red-flag orders, with no provisions expanding access or affecting other listed topics.
