Bill summary
Increases the types of firearms that are to be included in the firearm ballistic identification databank.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: referred to Consumer Protection; not law. IF CHAPTERED: long-gun/AWB casing-sample mandate on makers/dealers, violation then class A misd on a second knowing breach, program live 1/1/2027.
Defender utility
NY PDs: this is a pending manufacturer/dealer casing-sample duty, not a client possessory count. If it chapters, a class A misdemeanor is a second-violation dealer/maker count — demand proof of knowing violation and a prior conviction of this section. Clients are not the first-line target. Not a California charge; portable only as a microstamping/IBIS-duty analogue.
Who this is for. NY makers/dealers and PDs distinguishing a still-pending casing-databank duty from client possessory counts — not present law; not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Knowing first violation: violation. Second knowing violation: class A misdemeanor (as introduced).
