Final Passage·6/9/26

Establishes a voluntary firearm storage program with federally licensed dealers and law enforcement agencies in Ohio.

The Keep Them Safe Act allows individuals to store firearms with federally licensed dealers or law enforcement agencies. It requires the Attorney General to create an application form for firearm storage, detailing the firearm's description and the title holder's contact information. The act outlines procedures for firearm storage, including immunity from liability for dealers and agencies unless there is malicious intent or violation of law. It also mandates that dealers follow federal laws on firearm acquisition and transfer.
