If you're planning on buying ammunition don't be surprised if there are a few extra steps when you get ready to pay.

On Monday, California’s Ammunition Background Check Requirement law takes effect.

As part of 2016's Proposition 63, the new ammunition background check requires anyone purchasing or receiving ammunition at a firearms dealer or ammunition vendor to undergo a background check prior to their purchase. Exactly how the background check is conducted will depend on the individual purchasing the ammunition. "(The restrictions) aren't going to stop bad people from having ammunition," said Scott James, a firearm and ammunition dealer. "It will slow it down."

Here are a few commonly asked questions to help navigate the changes.

What will I need to purchase ammunition? A valid California ID or driver's license. How long with the background check take? Under the new regulations, there are two types of background checks: Standard eligibility check and a basic eligibility check. Standard checks are supposed to take no more than two minutes. There is no limit on the amount of ammunition a person can buy. It's unclear if the Department of Justice will be able to track how much ammunition a person purchases. "If you've recently purchased a gun, the process is going to be pretty easy," James said. "There are similar prohibitions with purchasing ammunition that there are with purchasing guns." What will it cost me? A standard eligibility check will cost $1 and will be charged at the time of the purchase. Every time ammunition is purchased, sellers will run a background check and charge the $1 fee. The money is used to fund Prop. 63, according to DOJ officials. Are CCW holders exempt from ammunition background checks? No. There are very few exceptions to the rule which include firearm businesses and law enforcement. The good news is that being a CCW holder means you're probably eligible for the standard (cheaper) eligibility check. What happens if I don't clear the background check? If you don't pass the standard eligibility check you will need to undergo the DOJ's "basic eligibility check" which is $19 and can take up to 10 days to process. "The Department may take longer to respond with a determination as to eligibility." according to DOJ officials. "Response times may take several days." If the buyer doesn't pass the basic eligibility check they will be informed through the mail and given a reason. Anyone who tries to buy bullets or shotgun shells and is knowingly inelgible because of a felony or domestic violence conviction could face prosecution or federal charges. "Be patient," James advised those wishing to buy ammunition. "It's going to be a little more extra work but if it stops just one shooting that's good enough for me."
