Youth Handgun Safety Act Notice Removal
Current understanding
ATF has proposed eliminating the regulatory requirement that federal firearms licensees (FFLs) post signs and deliver written notice about the Youth Handgun Safety Act to handgun purchasers. The underlying statutory prohibition on juvenile handgun possession remains in place; only the FFL notice/posting compliance obligation would be removed. Status: proposed rule; fiscal implications are minor, limited to reduced FFL compliance burden and printing/posting costs.
