Summary

The bill lengthens the reporting window for personal firearm importers from 60 to 180 days and requires them to attach a valid safety certificate to the report, making violations misdemeanors. It also mandates that anyone applying for a firearm safety certificate after July 1 2028 must complete at least an eight‑hour training course that includes live‑fire practice. The changes are intended to tighten oversight of imported guns and improve gun‑owner education.
