Amends the penal law to shift the cost of firearms record books from counties to the State of New York.

New York's penal law requires gunsmiths and licensed firearms dealers to maintain a record of all transactions involving firearms. Counties outside of New York City have borne the cost of these record books. This bill seeks to change that by making the State of New York responsible for the expense of providing these record books, shifting the financial burden from counties to the state. This change aims to address the growing costs associated with firearms record books, which have become an unfunded mandate on counties.
