 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to directing the state

 9 tion purchased in bulk" shall refer to unusually large purchases of
 10 firearms, rifles, shotguns, or ammunition, as determined by the super-
 11 intendent. The superintendent shall adopt and promulgate any necessary
 12 rules and regulations prescribing reporting procedures for any purchases
 13 of firearms or ammunition purchased in bulk by credit card, debit card,
 14 PayPal, e-wallet, e-check, Lyra or any other payment system, including
 15 the form for reporting such information. The superintendent shall adopt
 16 and promulgate any necessary rules and regulations prescribing the
 17 review of information contained in the central repository created by
 18 this section for the purpose of investigating potential criminal activ-
 19 ity.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
