THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 4ff. Beginning 90 days after the effective date of the
amendatory act that added this section through December 31, 2021, a
sale of firearm safety devices is exempt from the tax under this
act. Upon the retail sale or transfer of a firearm, the seller
shall provide a written notice to the purchaser and shall post in a
conspicuous manner at all points of sale on the premises where
firearms are sold a notice that says the following: "The state of
Michigan has exempted the sale of firearm safety devices from the
sales and use tax imposed by this state through December 31, 2021".
As used in this section, "firearm safety devices" means safes, lock
boxes, trigger and barrel locks, and other items designed to
enhance home firearm safety.
Enacting section 1. The legislature shall annually appropriate
sufficient funds from the state general fund to the state school
aid fund created in section 11 of article IX of the state
constitution of 1963 to fully compensate for any loss of revenue to
the state school aid fund resulting from the enactment of this
amendatory act.
