What it does
Jaime’s Law would amend federal law to require background checks for the transfer of ammunition, treating it similarly to firearms transfers under Section 922 of Title 18, U.S. Code. It would prohibit unlicensed individuals from transferring ammunition to others unless a licensed dealer first takes possession and conducts a background check, with specific exemptions for law enforcement, family transfers, temporary self-defense situations, and certain recreational uses. The bill aims to prevent prohibited purchasers from obtaining ammunition while preserving state authority and avoiding the creation of a national ammunition registry. It would take effect 180 days after enactment.
