Stops banks and card companies from using special codes for gun store purchases.
This bill would stop banks and card companies from using special codes to identify purchases made at gun stores. Instead, these stores would be categorized like general merchandise or sporting goods shops. This change would also override any state or local laws that try to regulate these specific codes for firearm retailers.
Currently, payment card networks and companies that process card transactions can use special codes to identify purchases made at gun stores. If this bill becomes law, these companies would be banned from using such codes, meaning gun stores would be categorized like general merchandise or sporting goods stores. This change would take effect immediately upon the bill being signed into law.
