Merchant Codes Can Save Lives Act

This bill would bar states from prohibiting or discouraging the use of merchant category codes set by the International Organization for Standardization that identify firearm merchants or card purchases of firearms, ammunition, ammunition components, or firearm accessories. Merchant category codes are labels that payment card networks use to classify the type of business in a transaction. The bill would add this rule to federal law on financial reporting. It would allow the U.S. Attorney General to sue in federal district court to enforce the rule.
