Removes ammunition from the list of items requiring a NICS background check before purchase and repeals related provisions including the background check fund, so fewer background checks are required for ammunition sales.
The division is hereby authorized and directed to serve as a state point of contact for implementation of 18 U.S.C. sec. 922 (t), all federal regulations and applicable guidelines adopted pursuant thereto, and the national instant criminal background check system for the purchase of firearms [deleted: and ammunition].
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill removes ammunition and ammunition sales from all background check requirements under state law (including NICS checks by the state point of contact), repeals the specific penal-law provision that had imposed those checks, and repeals the dedicated background-check fund; these changes reduce restrictions on purchasing ammunition.
