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 and offenses on gun show promoters (including conducting or arranging checks on private sales, providing notice to law enforcement, and posting notices). These provisions add restrictions on firearm transfers at gun shows.
