Plain-language change summary

The amended version of HB 1903 simplifies the requirements for reporting lost or stolen firearms by removing a stipulation that the report must be made immediately unless there is a good reason for any delay. This change allows individuals more flexibility in when they report such incidents. It is significant because it aims to encourage more people to report thefts or losses without the pressure of adhering to a strict timeline, potentially helping law enforcement recover firearms more effectively.
