Partial text of summary: "Article 1: Firearm Background Checks and Transfers
Overview
This article modifies a variety of provisions of firearms law relating to the transfer and purchase of pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons and to eligibility criteria for possessing a firearm.
Information. Requires that an applicant for a permit to purchase must submit a government-issued photo ID. Also changes the current reference to the firearms eligibility statute (Minn. Stat. § 624.713) to state or federal law.
Grounds for disqualification. Requires a chief of police or sheriff to deny a permit to purchase application if the applicant is either ineligible to possess firearms or is determined to be a danger to self or others. Changes the current reference to the firearms eligibility statute (Minn. Stat. § 624.713) to state or federal law
Granting of permits. Authorizes a new $25 fee for a permit to purchase. Changes the current reference to the firearms eligibility statute (Minn. Stat. § 624.713) to state or federal law. Also provides that if a chief or sheriff is unable to verify the identification of any applicant, they may require the applicant to appear in-person to present a government-issued photo ID, in which case the seven-day waiting period is extended to 30 days. . . .
Transfers by or through licensed dealers only. Mandates that any transfer of a pistol or semi-automatic assault weapon between two private citizens, neither of whom is a federally licensed firearms dealer, must be routed through a dealer. The dealer may charge a fee of up to $25. The dealer must take the pistol or weapon into possession, and then follow federal requirements for transferring it to the intended buyer, including performance of an FBI background check through the NICS.
If unable to deliver it to the buyer, the dealer must run a background check on the seller, before returning it to the seller. If neither person is eligible to possess the pistol or weapon, the dealer must not transfer it to either the buyer or seller, and instead must transfer the firearm to the chief of police or sheriff within 24 hours, and report identifying information on the buyer and seller as directed.
