Bill overview
The Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act prohibits payment card networks and other entities from requiring or assigning merchant category codes that specifically identify firearms retailers. This aims to prevent the tracking of gun sales and limit the ability to differentiate them from other retailers, ensuring greater privacy for businesses selling firearms. The Attorney General will enforce this law and investigate potential violations, with the power to issue corrective actions and seek court injunctions if necessary.
