Creates new criminal offenses and record-keeping, notice, and posting requirements for sellers and promoters at gun shows, imposing new regulatory burdens on firearm sales at those events.
A gun show promoter commits an offense if the promoter, with criminal negligence, permits the sale of a firearm to a person at a gun show organized, planned, promoted, or operated by the promoter without complying with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in the manner required by 18 U.S.C. Section 922 before completion of the sale.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates new Class A misdemeanor offenses for selling firearms at gun shows without a NICS background check or without keeping a record of the sale, and imposes parallel duties, notice, posting, and background-check requirements on gun show promoters. These provisions expand background-check and record-keeping mandates to private sales at gun shows and add regulatory requirements specific to such events.
