Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a mandatory firearms safety certificate requirement (with application, multi-hour training including safe storage, live-fire, exam, renewal, and carry/display rules) for all firearm possession and transfers, plus a new criminal offense for noncompliance; it also updates gender-neutral language and makes other technical changes but does not address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
