Requires reporting and creates a state database on microstamped guns (which imprint identifying codes on casings), so more tracking and restrictions on firearms.
The department shall establish, maintain and update on a quarterly basis an electronic database of information relating to the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, exchange, giving, transfer, delivery or use of microstamped guns in the state.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a mandatory state database and reporting requirements specifically for microstamped guns (firearms equipped to imprint identifying codes on expended cartridge cases), which adds tracking and regulatory burdens on dealers, manufacturers, and law enforcement. This falls under firearms/other as it concerns firearm identification technology and dealer reporting but does not match any listed subtags like background checks, carry, or red-flag orders. No provisions address transgender, abortion, or immigration-enforcement topics.
