AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate the manufacturing and assembly of "ghost guns" and 3D-printed firearms. It amends the state's firearms laws to define key terms like "assembly," "manufacture," and "unfinished receiver or firearm frame." The bill requires individuals who manufacture or assemble firearms to obtain a unique serial number and mark it on the firearm. It also prohibits the use of 3D printers to manufacture firearms or their components without a federal manufacturing license. Additionally, the bill mandates the use of stainless steel in polymer plastic firearms and requires individuals to notify the state's criminal justice information services after manufacturing a firearm. The bill includes exemptions for federally licensed firearm manufacturers and law enforcement agencies, and it establishes criminal penalties for violations.
