What this bill would do

The Gun Safety Incentive Act aims to promote the safe storage of firearms through several federal initiatives. It requires licensed manufacturers and importers to provide written notices regarding safe storage with specific firearms. The Attorney General is tasked with establishing and publishing voluntary best practices for preventing firearm loss, theft, and unauthorized access in various settings. Additionally, the bill creates a grant program for States and Indian Tribes to distribute safe firearm storage devices to the public. Finally, it amends the Internal Revenue Code to provide a tax credit for the retail sale of these storage devices.
