Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2026 would create federal owner licensing and require sale records
Federal bill HR 9548 — status: in committee
Official title: Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2026
What it does
The bill, titled the Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2026 (H.R. 9548), would establish a federal licensing regime for firearm owners and require creation and retention/reporting of records of sale. As of the latest update, it has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary and has not advanced further.
Industry impact
If enacted, the measure would change transfer processes at gun retailers by requiring verification of a federal owner license before completing a sale and by creating new recordkeeping and reporting obligations. Manufacturers could see downstream effects from tightened transfer controls and potential demand shifts; NFA/SOT holders would need to integrate any new federal license-checking into existing NFA transfer workflows. Implementation would likely require updates to point-of-sale systems, staff training, and compliance procedures to verify licenses and maintain required records.
Latest official status: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
