Introduced·2/12/25

The Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act aims to protect the privacy of firearm owners by prohibiting government entities from maintaining records.

The Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act amends the South Carolina Code to safeguard the privacy of firearm owners. It prohibits government entities from maintaining any records of privately owned firearms or their owners. Additionally, it mandates that payment card networks and covered entities do not use merchant category codes to distinguish firearm retailers from other retailers. The Attorney General is tasked with investigating violations and can seek injunctions and civil fines for non-compliance.
