## Summary

**This bill would prohibit state and local governments from levying excise taxes on the sale of firearms, ammunition, or parts when those sales occur in or affect interstate or foreign commerce. It would also preserve existing federal wildlife restoration funding under the Pittman-Robertson Act.** - Manufacturers and dealers would no longer face state excise taxes on firearm and ammunition sales that cross state or international lines. - States and localities could lose a source of excise tax revenue on sales tied to interstate or foreign commerce. - Hunters and conservation programs keep current federal support because the bill clarifies it does not alter the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act.
