                                                                                               COMMITTEE SUMMARY

Senate Bill 60 (as introduced 1-16-13)

Sponsor:  Senator Mike Green

Committee:  Judiciary

Date Completed:  1-22-13

CONTENT

The bill would amend the handgun licensure law to revise the definition of "federally licensed firearms dealer", as used in a provision exempting those dealers from the requirement to obtain a license to purchase, carry, possess, use, or transport a pistol.

The licensure law exempts certain individuals, including a federally licensed firearms dealer, from pistol licensure requirements.  "Federally licensed firearms dealer" means an individual who holds a type 01 dealer license under Federal law (18 USC 923).  Under the bill, the term would mean a person licensed to sell firearms under 18 USC 923.
