Electronic Notification for Firearm Transfers to Law Enforcement

This bill allows licensed firearm dealers to notify local Chief Law Enforcement Officers (CLEOs) about firearm transfers using a secure electronic method. The change modernizes the administrative process, offering an alternative to mandatory certified mail, which could slightly streamline the transfer paperwork for citizens purchasing firearms.
Key points
Firearm dealers can now use verified electronic communication instead of certified mail to notify police about transfers.
The electronic system must confirm both the delivery and the recipient's address to ensure accountability and verification of receipt.
