Firearms, merchant codes
FIREARMS – Adds to existing law to prohibit the use of merchant firearms codes.

RS30587C1 / H0295

This bill will prohibit credit card companies from assigning a unique credit card code to firearms retailers that sell weapons and ammunition in Idaho. The tracking of these codes will allow unprecedented surveillance of 2nd Amendment activity by the sharing with the government. There will still be allowances for financial institutions to disclose this protected financial information if authorization is provided or required by a lawful subpoena.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
