Jaime's Law would require ammunition transfers between unlicensed individuals to go through a licensed firearms dealer, similar to existing firearm transfer rules. The bill applies a background check requirement to ammunition sales and transfers, preventing those prohibited by federal or state law from purchasing ammunition. The legislation includes exceptions for law enforcement, gifts between family members, emergency situations, and transfers at shooting ranges or during hunting activities. The bill would take effect 180 days after passage and explicitly prohibits creating a national ammunition registry or restricting states from passing their own ammunition regulations.
