On Monday, April 22nd, House Bill 1018 was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp. HB 1018 prohibits the use of firearm/ammunition specific merchant category codes by payment processors. This is an important protection for gun owners, protecting private purchasing information from abuse by third parties.
The NRA would like to thank Governor Kemp, House Speaker Jon Burns, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Representative Jason Ridley (R-HD 6) who sponsored the bill and led the charge in the House, and Senator Carden Summers (R-SD 13) who carried the bill on the Senate floor. Of course, we also want to thank all legislators who voted in support of HB 1018.
Thank you again to all NRA members and Second Amendment advocates who contacted legislators regarding HB 1018. Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates regarding your Second Amendment rights.
