  • Exempts generic and insignificant parts (springs, screws, nuts, pins) and basic materials (unmachined steel, unshaped wood) used in firearm manufacturing from federal regulation when incorporated into Florida-manufactured products that remain in-state.

  • Provides that firearm accessories imported from other states do not subject a firearm to federal interstate commerce regulation when attached to or used with a firearm in Florida.
