Tpdf Text

Establishes security and training requirements for Maine firearm dealers, including record-keeping and reporting obligations.

The Firearm Dealer Responsible Business Practices Act mandates that firearm dealers in Maine adhere to specific security measures, including alarm systems, video surveillance, and site hardening. Dealers must maintain detailed records of firearm transactions and criminal firearm traces, and report thefts or losses to law enforcement. The Office of Violence Prevention is tasked with developing a training course on safe firearm transactions, which dealers must provide to employees. The Department of Public Safety is required to inspect dealers and publish an annual report on compliance.
