Federal 2025-2026 Session
This bill establishes a framework to regulate the storage of firearms on residential premises at the federal, state, and tribal levels.

At the federal level, the bill establishes statutory requirements for firearms on residential premises to be safely stored if a minor is likely to gain access without permission or if a resident is ineligible to possess a firearm.

An individual who violates the requirements is subject to criminal penalties. A firearm stored in violation of the requirements is subject to seizure and forfeiture.

At the state and tribal levels, the bill requires the Department of Justice to award grants to implement functionally identical requirements for the safe storage of firearms.

Oregon 2026 Legislative Session

The Oregon House concurred with the Senate amendment and repassed HB 4145 B. The bill no longer has the unnecessary carve outs which is good but the bill delays the implementation of Measure 114 until January 1, 2028 -- which is more than 5 years after voters passed Measure 114.

The bill, now called HB 4145 B to reflect the incorporation of the -A9 amendment, was adopted in the Senate Rules Committee on March 4. The bill was moved to the Senate floor with a do pass recommendation.
