An Act
to amend
175.35 (title), 175.35 (2) (d) and 175.35 (2g) (c) 4. c. of the
2
statutes;
relating to:
waiting period for purchase of handguns.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides that, before a federally licensed firearms dealer may transfer a handgun after a sale, the dealer must request that the Department of Justice perform a background check on the prospective purchaser to determine if the purchaser is prohibited from possessing a firearm.
This bill prohibits the dealer from transferring the handgun to the purchaser until 48 hours have passed since the firearms dealer requested the background check on the purchaser.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
