Bill Summary · SB 920

Legislative bill overview

SB 920 would establish new requirements and procedures for firearm purchases and transfers in Florida. The bill was introduced in February 2025 but died in the Criminal Justice Committee in June 2025 after being indefinitely postponed, meaning it did not advance to a vote.

Why is this important

Firearm purchase and transfer regulations directly affect public safety measures, constitutional rights, and law enforcement operations. Changes to these processes can influence background check procedures, waiting periods, or licensing requirements that impact both gun owners and state safety outcomes.

Potential points of contention

  • Constitutional concerns: Any new firearm regulations face scrutiny under Second Amendment protections and Florida's constitutional provisions on gun rights
  • Implementation costs: New purchase/transfer procedures require resources for law enforcement and licensing agencies, raising budget questions
  • Stakeholder disagreement: Gun rights advocates and gun safety organizations typically hold opposing views on regulatory scope and effectiveness
