Bill overview
Ethan’s Law aims to reduce gun-related injuries and deaths, particularly among children, by requiring the safe storage of firearms on residential premises. The bill amends federal law to establish requirements for storing firearms when a minor is likely to gain access or if a resident is ineligible to possess a firearm. It also creates a program to provide grants to states and tribes to implement similar safe storage laws. Furthermore, the law establishes a legal framework regarding liability for negligent firearm storage.
