Now vs if chaptered
NOW: referred to Codes; not law. IF CHAPTERED: $10k/violation private PRA for in-state AWB/ghost-gun manufacture/sale/parts, including aiders.
Defender utility
NY PDs: this is a pending civil PRA, not a client possessory count. If it chapters, it is a maker/dealer/parts-seller exposure next to AB 1263-style PMF theory, not a CPW. Do not conflate with live Ch. 55 CAD/ghost-gun crimes or with S 06403. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. Makers/dealers and NY PDs tracking a pending AWB/ghost-gun civil PRA — not a client possessory charge; not present law.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Civil $10,000 per violation (CPLR 1361 as introduced). Not a Penal Law count.
