Bill overview
The SHORT Act amends tax laws and federal regulations to remove short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns from the definition of firearms under the National Firearms Act. It clarifies the definition of a firearm, streamlines tax regulations for these weapons, and aims to eliminate inconsistent treatment between these weapons and other firearms. The bill also seeks to preempt certain state laws that impose taxes or regulations on these weapons, and mandates the destruction of relevant records within the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
