↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 85%
Prohibits bidders from selling unserialized gun build kits or precursor parts and mandates specific anti-trafficking, prohibited-person screening, theft-reporting, training, and surveillance policies for state contracts, adding new operational requirements on firearm-related businesses.
(iii) does not sell, offer for sale, advertise, market, distribute, or otherwise transfer unserialized gun build kits or firearm precursor parts;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new State Finance Law § 139-n imposing detailed certification and compliance requirements (including bans on unserialized kits and mandates for policies, training, and surveillance) on bidders for state contracts to purchase firearms, ammunition, or accessories. This imposes new restrictions on firearm industry participants seeking to sell to the state, with no provisions expanding access, carry, or ownership rights. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
