Overview
The act governs the confidentiality of customer financial information connected to firearms-related commerce, defining a category of protected financial information that may not be disclosed without the customer's written authorization and imposing heightened requirements on disclosures sought by subpoena. It further prohibits using that information for discriminatory purposes against the people it concerns. Violations are backed by civil remedies available to those harmed, alongside enforcement by the state, which may also act through its contracting authority.
