## Summary

**Would create a refundable tax credit that covers 90% of the cost of new gun safes.** The bill would set per-taxpayer limits, exclude most used safes, and require future targeting to HHS-identified models after 2030. - Households: Buyers would get large help paying for eligible safes because the credit would cover 90% of the purchase price. - Taxpayers: Each person could claim credits up to $500, or up to $1,000 on a joint return, measured across the prior six taxable years. - Standards and timing: For tax years beginning after 2030 the credit would apply only to models the Department of Health and Human Services later reports as highly effective; that report must be public and is due within five years of enactment. - Privacy and eligibility: Used safes are generally excluded unless the purchaser is the first owner, and the credit cannot be conditioned on providing information about firearms owned.
