NOW: Ch. 55 is signed. Penal Law ghost-gun manufacture (class D) and CAD-code distribution/possession (class A misd.) are the live slices after the 90-day Subpart A clock. NOT YET: convertible-pistol dealer sale (May 31, 2027) and 3-D printer blocking (rules + 1 year).
Defender utility
NY PDs on unlicensed-manufacture, PMF/serial, CAD/STL, Glock-switch, and unfinished-frame calendars: charge from Subpart A Penal Law slices that have already passed the 90-day clock; do not charge the May 31, 2027 convertible-pistol dealer ban or the printer-blocking mandate as present law. CA PDs as portable analogue to AB 1263 / AB 1127 — not a California charge. House twin A 10005 was substituted and should not be charged separately.
Who this is for. NY PDs on PMF / CAD / unfinished-frame / converter-pistol calendars — Ch. 55 Part C is signed; only the 90-day Penal Law slice is the live charge, not the 2027 dealer ban or printer-blocking mandate; not a California charge.
