AI Summary
- Cited as "Jaime's Law," the bill amends s. 790.065, F.S., to require background checks for the sale or transfer of ammunition by licensed importers, manufacturers, and dealers, extending the existing firearm background check process to ammunition purchases
- Holders of valid concealed weapons or firearms licenses and active certified law enforcement, correctional, or correctional probation officers are exempt from the ammunition background check requirement
- Ammunition transfers are also exempt when used exclusively at shooting ranges or for hunting, trapping, or fishing, provided the transferor has no reason to believe the transferee is prohibited from possessing ammunition or intends to use it in a crime
- Knowingly acquiring ammunition through purchase or transfer intended for a person prohibited by state or federal law from possessing ammunition is a third-degree felony, as is a dealer's failure to conduct the required background check
- Effective date of October 1, 2021
