Summary

The bill directs the state health department to create informational literature on firearm safety, training, suicide prevention, mental‑health awareness, and conflict resolution, and to send it to every county health department. County health departments must then provide the material to all firearm and ammunition retailers, which must display the pamphlets at the point of sale and give a copy to each purchaser. Retailers who fail to comply can be cited and face civil penalties up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for repeat offenses.
