Bill summary
Establishes a 10 day waiting period for the purchase of any firearm; establishes violations of such provisions shall constitute a class A misdemeanor.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: not law; no 10-day dealer-delivery wait under this bill. IF CHAPTERED: class A misdemeanor for dealer delivery or taking possession before ten days from background-check initiation.
Defender utility
NY PDs and dealers: this is a pending cooling-off count, not present law. Do not treat a same-week dealer delivery as a class A misdemeanor under S 00362. If chaptered, the elements are dealer delivery + 10-day clock from NICS initiation, not a possessory street charge. CA PDs as portable DROS-wait analogue — not California DROS and not a California charge. House twin A 03233.
Who this is for. NY PDs and dealers watching a pending 10-day dealer-delivery wait — not present law; not California DROS.
