Relates to the safe storage of firearms and child access prevention; repealer

New gun safety information for families

New York’s health commissioner must launch a gun-storage and child-access prevention campaign by July 1, 2025. It covers firearms, rifles, and shotguns, safe-storage methods, and resources to prevent gun violence. Materials must explain state storage, transport, and child-access laws, plus related county and local rules. Materials must be easy to share digitally, posted on the Health Department’s website, and available to agencies upon request. Updates are required as needed by July 1, 2026, and each July 1 afterward, with updated materials shared the same way. The law also repeals Executive Law Section 847, added in 2024. The supplied text does not explain that section’s requirements, so the repeal’s effect on household duties is unclear.
