Unfortunately, last week, New York became the third state to enact legislation to track the credit card purchases of sportsmen. A.9862A / S.8479A will require payment card networks to use certain merchant category codes (MCC) for ammunition and firearm dealers.
Our Government Affairs Team will continue monitoring activities in the Empire State as you never know when sportsmen need to be aware of issues that may arise.
Don’t forget to share this and future alerts with your family and friends, as sportsmen throughout the state must continue to stay actively involved to help protect our hunting, fishing, and trapping heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.
