- Maryland Senate is considering an 11% excise tax on firearms, accessories, and ammunition sales, with revenue dedicated to violence prevention, victim support, and trauma care.
- The tax would be phased in: large retailers start July 1, 2027; all other dealers start July 1, 2028.
- Exemptions include sales to law enforcement, military, and National Guard; measures are included to prevent double taxation on out-of-state sales.
- Revenue would be distributed among several state programs, including violence prevention, victim support, and trauma care funds.
- The bill includes new reporting requirements for dealers and enforcement authority for the state comptroller, and is expected to face debate as it moves through the legislative process.
