Introduced on January 17, 2017, HB 2216 would make it «unlawful to require a person to use or be subject to electronic
firearm tracking technology or to disclose any identifiable information about the person or the person's firearm for the purpose of using electronic
firearm tracking technology.»
Electronic
firearm tracking technology is defined as «a platform, system or device or a group of systems or devices that uses a shared ledger, distributed ledger or block chain technology or any other similar form of technology or electronic database for the purpose of storing information in a decentralized or centralized way, that is not owned or controlled by any single person or entity and that is used to locate or control the use of a firearm.»
Schroer's bill was also careful to differentiate between electronic
firearm tracking technologies, which refer to distributed ledgers or other decentralized databases, and official law enforcement tracking systems like the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) database.
