Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires development and annual distribution to parents of information on safe firearm storage per existing penal law duties (which impose criminal liability for unsafe storage accessible to minors). This promotes compliance with storage rules in homes with schoolchildren without changing the underlying legal requirements, so it is tagged as restricting under storage-minors and neutral under other.
