Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
The bill creates a new business tax credit (section 45BB) equal to 10% of amounts received from the first retail sale of each qualifying safe firearm storage device, with amounts taken into account capped at $400 per device. The credit is added to the general business credit, allowed against the AMT, subject to recapture rules and documentation, requires an annual Treasury report disaggregated by state, applies to taxable years after enactment, and sunsets after December 31, 2032.

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward statutory amendment that creates a time-limited tax credit for first retail sales of defined safe firearm storage devices.
