    Wisconsin Senate Committee Clears Bill That Would Prohibit Credit Card Codes to Track Firearms Purchases

    Excerpt:
    "This bill prohibits a financial institution, as part of a payment card transaction,
    from requiring the use of a merchant category code that identifies the merchant as
    a firearms retailer. The bill also provides that the Department of Justice may not
    maintain a list of firearm purchasers based on information from background checks
    that DOJ performs and that no governmental entity may maintain a list of firearm
    owners. The bill requires the attorney general to enforce the prohibitions created in
    this bill."

    HB 1084: Privacy of Firearms Financial Transactions. This is similar to SB 28. I AM ALL-IN ON THIS ONE!! Focuses on credit card transactions. This is the bill NSSF and NRA-ILA worked with author Jake Teshka. Co-authored Craig Haggard (former NRA-ILA) and Ethan Manning (Chair of the House Public Policy Committee.) In the Financial Institutions Committee.
