Yesterday, the House voted 78-34 to pass House Bill 759, which restores the ability for young adults to acquire firearms by lowering the minimum age requirement to purchase from 21 to 18. The Senate companion, Senate Bill 920, has yet to receive a policy hearing in the Senate. Please use the Take Action link below to contact the Senate Criminal Justice Committee chairman and members TODAY to request a policy hearing for Senate Bill 920.
House Bill 759 and Senate Bill 920 restores the ability for young adults to acquire firearms by lowering the minimum age requirement from 21 to 18. For this legislation to progress in the Senate, SB 920 must first receive a policy hearing in the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.
The NRA would like to thank House Majority Leader Tyler Sirois and Representative Michelle Salzman for sponsoring HB 759, the 12 co-sponsors, and Speaker Daniel Perez. This legislation is a priority for the NRA, both in the Legislature and in the courts!
Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates as this critical legislation progresses.
