## Summary

**Requires serial numbers on frames, receivers, and collections of parts produced by additive manufacturing or other non-traditional methods.** This bill would also clarify the federal definition of a firearm and create a tax credit to help licensed businesses cover serialization costs. - Makers using additive or other non-traditional manufacturing would have to engrave or cast a serial number on each frame, receiver, or part collection. A first offense can trigger a civil penalty up to $10,000 and repeat violations carry criminal penalties. - Licensed dealers, importers, and manufacturers would have to engrave serials on unserialized firearms added to inventory, transmit a receipt with the serial number, and keep a copy. A new Firearm Dealer Serialization Credit would help pay for engraving or casting equipment and software and is capped at $1,000 for that category. - The bill limits use of serialization records to ongoing bona fide criminal investigations, preserves state law authority, and generally takes effect 180 days after enactment.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Tax credit for dealer serialization: benefit, high. If enacted, licensed firearms businesses would be able to claim a new tax credit for costs to engrave or cast serial numbers. The credit would pay up to $1,000 per year for engraving equipment or related software. It would also pay up to $50 per firearm for other serialization costs, but that part…
- New serialization rules for gun makers and dealers: cost, low. If enacted, the bill would expand what counts as a "firearm" to include assemblies or sets of parts meant to work as, or easily converted into, a gun. It would define "additive manufacturing" and other non‑traditional methods and require licensed makers who 3D-print or finish frames, receivers, or…
