Defender utility
Illinois PDs on 24-1 silencer calendars: this is a parked wholesale-distributor carve-out, not live 24-2. Charge current silencer possession until a chapter number exists. Related repeal vehicles remain SB 0297 / SB 3126. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. IL PDs on 24-1 silencer calendars and NFA wholesalers — pending 24-2 carve-out parked in Rules, not present law; not a California charge.
Exemptions (draft)
Proposed 24-2 carve-out for federally licensed wholesale distributors of silencers and of firearms/ammunition equipped with those devices, actually engaged in that business.
