S01154 Permits those licensed to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or to purchase or take possession of a semi-automatic rifle or licensed to hunt wildlife to purchase or take possession of ammunition without requiring contacting the statewide license and record database.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Law sections 400.02 and 400.03 to exempt licensed pistol/revolver carriers, semi-automatic rifle purchasers, and licensed hunters from the ammunition background check database requirement that otherwise applies to transfers by dealers and sellers. This reduces restrictions on ammunition access for those groups.
