## Provisions PRIA read

- End federal tax on firearm transfers: benefit, low. If enacted, you would not pay the federal firearm transfer tax on transfers after the enactment date. This would lower costs for people and businesses that transfer or receive these firearms. The bill would also update related tax code references to reflect the repeal.
- Consumer safety agency barred from National Firearms Act firearms: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would make clear that National Firearms Act firearms are not under the Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC rules or recalls would not apply to these firearms. This mainly affects owners, makers, and dealers. The change would take effect upon enactment.
