From the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Alerts) www.nraila.org  ALERTS:

SB221 was amended and passed in the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday in a party line 4-3 vote. The amendment adopted in committee requires that all private party transfers be conducted through a gun dealer, absent an exemption. The dealer would conduct the transfer as if he were selling normal inventory, except the dealer will make the background check inquiry directly through NICS - as compared to making it through the state Department of Public Safety - and can charge a fee (tax) of $30 for the transaction.

SB 221 carries severe penalties for violations that could result in a loss of Second Amendment rights. An individual who fails to comply with the new background check transfer requirements would be guilty of a gross misdemeanor and prohibited from possessing a firearm for a period of two years. The second offense would be a felony, resulting in loss of Second Amendment rights.
