Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: introduced only; referred to Senate Judiciary; not present 922. IF CHAPTERED: new federal private-transfer, 1-in-30, unserialized-frame, feature-test AWB, national ERPO, and status-disqualifier slices would become live federal counts.
Defender utility
Federal defenders: this is a pending national overlay, not present 922. If any slice moves, isolate the charged subsection (private-transfer FFL conduit, 1-in-30, unserialized frame, feature-test AWB, ERPO, or status disqualifier) and do not treat the omnibus title as a single offense. CA PDs: portable as a Bruen vehicle next to AB 1263 / AWB / DROS — not a California charge.
Who this is for. Federal defenders and multi-state firms tracking a pending national AWB/PMF/ERPO/FFL-transfer overlay — not present law; not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Would ride on 18 U.S.C. 924 for the new 922(aa)/(bb)/(p) and assault-weapon slices; ERPO/status pieces would add 922(g)-style disabilities. Not in force.
