BILL NUMBER:S3377
Title of bill
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to expanding the definition of immediate family to include siblings, grandparents and grandchildren as such term relates to the private sale or disposal of certain firearms
Purpose
This bill expands the definition of immediate family to include siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren, as applied to transfers of firearms.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends section 898 of the general business law, expanding the definition of "immediate family" to include siblings, grandparents and grandchildren.
Section 2 states that this act shall take effect immediately.
Existing law
Existing law allows for exemptions from some state requirements for sales, exchanges or disposals of firearms if conducted between members of an immediate family. Currently, "immediate family" only includes spouses, domestic partners, children, and step-children.
Justification
This bill is one in a series of proposed reforms to the SAFE Act. As we continue to work towards full repeal of the SAFE Act, the provisions most devastating to law abiding citizens need to be addressed immediately. This series of proposals is a step in the right direction towards protecting our Second Amendment rights while ensuring public safety.
