Michigan HB5743 amends firearm sales regulations, including a waiting period and restrictions on sales to minors and felons.

Michigan HB5743 amends the state's firearm sales regulations by introducing a waiting period of at least three days before a firearm can be delivered to a purchaser. It also prohibits the sale of firearms to individuals under 18 years of age and those under indictment for a felony. Sellers who knowingly violate these provisions face misdemeanor charges, with increased penalties for subsequent offenses. The bill also provides an affirmative defense for sellers who verify the purchaser's age through a state-issued ID.
