HR 4270 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Multiple Firearm Sales Reporting Modernization Act of 2025
To amend title 18, United States Code, to expand to all firearms the requirement that Federal firearms licensees report sales of 2 or more handguns to the same unlicensed person within 5 consecutive business days.
Summary
This bill amends federal law to expand the multiple firearm sales reporting requirement for licensed gun dealers. Currently, dealers must report to the federal government when they sell two or more handguns to the same unlicensed buyer within five consecutive business days. The bill expands this requirement to include all types of firearms, not just handguns, meaning dealers would need to report any sale of two or more firearms of any type to the same unlicensed person within a five-day period. The change applies to transactions reported under federal firearms regulations.
