The Ammo Identification Act of 2023 would require ammunition manufacturers and importers to engrave a unique serial number on every round of ammunition they produce or bring into the country. The bill amends federal firearms licensing laws to establish this new requirement and expands existing record-keeping rules to include ammunition sales and transfers, similar to current requirements for firearms. Licensed ammunition dealers would be required to keep records of ammunition sales, and the requirement would also apply to ammunition sold at gun shows. The law would not take effect immediately; instead, manufacturers and importers would have two years after the bill becomes law to implement the serialization requirement, allowing time for industry compliance.
