    Just as the title says, this bill would exempt firearms safety devices from use tax.
    Firearms safety devices INCLUDE safes!
    It also includes "other items designed to enhance home firearm safety".

    It appears to have an auto-sunset date of December 31, 2021 for whatever reason.

    But, if this bill passes, it presents an opportunity to save some money on a nice safe or 10 through Dec. 31, 2021!

    Unless I am reading this wrong, HB4514 (this bill) just says that there will be signs posted at all points of sale for these safety devices that announces that there is no sale or use tax. The other bill HB 4513 actually eliminated both taxes.

    looks like it will be required at all FFLs who do gun transfers. which should cover gun stores, big box sporting good stores, pawn shops, etc.

    Sales tax (HB 4513):

    SEC. 4FF. BEGINNING 90 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AMENDATORY ACT THAT ADDED THIS SECTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2021, A SALE OF FIREARM SAFETY DEVICES IS EXEMPT FROM THE TAX UNDER THIS ACT.
    Use tax (HB 4514):

    SEC. 4FF. BEGINNING 90 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AMENDATORY ACT THAT ADDED THIS SECTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2021, THE TAX LEVIED UNDER THIS ACT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE STORAGE, USE, OR CONSUMPTION OF FIREARM SAFETY DEVICES.

    I now see what you are saying.

    But these two can't stand together, they both create a Section 4FF, that do and say different things. They will have to be combined and address two different acts.

    Agreed. I immediately thought when I first read the bills that they would/should be tie-barred…but it didn't say so…I double checked and sure enough, they are two separate bills not tied to each other. Why not? I have no idea! You would think that, logically, if one passes, the other would pass, as well…but…logic has no place in thinking about the government!
