Shall Certify Bill Stuck in Committee… Action is required!

Presently sitting in the House Calendars Committee is Senate Bill 476 (SB476). This bill commonly referred to as the “Shall Certify” bill would require all Chief Law Enforcement Officers in Texas to certify all NFA Transfer forms that are presented to them in a timely manner, if they do not have a legal justification for refusing to do so. This bill will dramatically increase the ability of law abiding citizens of this state to purchase NFA items and will future proof our state form the possible repercussion is the proposed Rule 41P gets implemented. We strongly encourage everyone to contact their state House representative and demand that SB476 be brought to floor for a vote before the May 26th Deadline.
