Arizona Senate Passes FIND Act
Senate Bill 1096 Heads to the Arizona House

The firearm industry received great news in the Grand Canyon State today. Earlier in the day, the Arizona Senate passed NSSF’s sponsored Senate Bill 1096.

For years, NSSF^® members engaged in the lawful commerce of firearm and ammunition have experienced discrimination by financial institutions simply because of the type of business they were in. In these cases, their refusal to provide goods and services resulted in a higher cost of doing business and increased prices for consumers who were simply exercising their Second Amendment Rights. Our members have reported facing discrimination from internet search engines, payment processors, social media companies, insurance companies and other service providers not covered by the FDIC. While the firearm industry respects the right of financial institutions and other service providers to make business decisions based on objective criteria, it is unacceptable to discriminate against businesses simply because they are engaged in the lawful commerce of firearms and ammunition, a heavily regulated activity protected by the Second Amendment.

This week, a bill was introduced in Arizona to combat these discriminatory practices. Senate Bill 1096., the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act would ensure firearm industry members have fair access to financial services in the Grand Canyon. NSSF thanks Senator Frank Carroll, and every Republican Senator in the State Senate for passing legislation that will ensure the firearm industry receives fair access to financial services in the Grand Canyon State.
