Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a sales and use tax exemption for firearms, ammunition, firearm accessories, and safety equipment (expanding the prior exemption limited to safety equipment), which reduces the effective cost and therefore expands access to firearms and related items under the firearms topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
