Alaska: Gun Owner Financial Privacy Bills Introduced in Both Chambers

Friday, March 21, 2025

This week, Senate Bill 136 and House Bill 143, companion bills to prevent the use of firearm-specific payment processing information, were introduced in the legislature. NRA thanks Senator Mike Cronk and Representative Cathy Tilton, respectively, for taking the lead on this critical protection for gun owners' privacy.

Senate Bill 136 and House Bill 143 prohibit the use of firearm and ammunition specific Merchant Category Codes, which could be used to track firearm and ammunition purchases and create a registry of lawful gun and ammunition buyers. This is an important protection for gun owners, protecting private purchasing data from abuse by third parties. Nineteen states have adopted similar legislation. For more information, click here.
