Summary
SB 188 changes Delaware’s firearm purchase statutes so that guns bought by a law‑enforcement agency for its officers are not subject to the usual background‑check and qualified‑purchaser permit requirements. The change applies to active and retired officers and to agency purchases used in official duties. It aims to simplify and speed up the procurement process for police departments.
