The Modern Firearm Safety Act prohibits federal, state, and local governments from requiring or enforcing laws that mandate certain safety features on handguns used in interstate or foreign commerce. Specifically, the bill blocks requirements that handguns include loaded indicators, magazine disconnect safeties, microstamping technology, or any device designed to perform these functions. The legislation affects all jurisdictions in the United States, particularly states that have implemented or considered stricter firearm regulations. The bill contains no specified funding amounts or implementation timeline beyond its immediate effect upon passage. Introduced in September 2024 by a group of Republican senators, the bill represents a federal preemption of state and local firearm safety regulations.
