1998 SESSION
HB 729 Criminal history records check for transfer of firearms.
Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Criminal history record information check for transfer of firearms. Eliminates language which purports to require the receipt of criminal history records information prior to a sale by a licensed dealer. The change makes clear the sale may go forward if the seller requests criminal history information from the State Police, but does not receive a response within a full business day.
