Ohio HB45 requires federally licensed firearms dealers to perform a background check before transferring a firearm.

Ohio HB45 amends the state's Revised Code to mandate that federally licensed firearms dealers must not transfer a firearm unless the transferee has passed a background check. Specifically, the bill stipulates that a federally licensed firearms dealer cannot transfer a firearm unless ten days or more have elapsed since the dealer contacted the national instant criminal background check system and received a unique identification number. This provision applies regardless of any federal or state law to the contrary.
