The Vermont House of Representatives is considering a bill that would require a federal firearms license holder to assign serial numbers to guns and certain parts that don’t have them.

The legislature is also considering amendments that would prohibit carrying weapons in polling places, allow municipalities to implement local regulations, and instruct the Vermont Secretary of State to present a report on how such bans should be implemented by Dec. 31., 2024.
