2019 Senate Bill 678

Require long gun and individual sale buyer background checks

Introduced in the Senate

Dec. 4, 2019

Introduced by Sen. Rosemary Bayer (D-12)

To require purchasers of long guns to undergo an “instant” federal background check, which is currently required if the seller is a federal firearms licensee (dealer), but does not apply to transactions between private individuals. The bill would extend this requirement to all private gun sales between individuals.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
