SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Criminal records checks; the sale or transfer of firearms for a dealer or at a gun show; penalties. Requires firearms dealers to conduct an annual criminal records check for each of their employees or agents who sell firearms either at their place of business or at a gun show. The provisions of this section track the language of § 18.2-308.2:2, which requires criminal records checks for purchasers of firearms. Additionally, there is a requirement for the Virginia State Police to maintain permanent records of the consent forms and firearm seller’s numbers. This bill also creates new crimes: a Class 5 felony for providing false information on the consent form; Class 1 misdemeanors for either transferring a firearm in violation of this section or employing someone in violation of this section.
