Committee approves one-year exemption allowing current firearms vendors time to comply with new supplier rules
Summary
The committee forwarded an administrative-code amendment setting a June 24, 2025 end date for a one-year exemption that allows city agencies to continue purchasing firearms from existing suppliers while vendors adjust to minimum qualification requirements adopted earlier this year.
The committee voted to forward an amendment that sets an end date of June 24, 2025, for a one-year exemption allowing the city to continue purchasing firearms and ammunition from suppliers it used within the prior 24 months. Dominica Donovan, chief of staff to Supervisor Catherine Stephanie, described the change as a clerical amendment designed to clarify the exemption timeline and provide current suppliers time to meet newly adopted minimum qualifications for firearms vendors.
Donovan said the original ordinance establishing vendor minimum qualifications was intended to ensure city funds are allocated only to vendors who comply with state and federal firearms laws; the exemption provides an adjustment period. Committee members had no questions and the item was forwarded to the full Board as a committee report with a positive recommendation.
