Bill > S04849

This bill allows for the possession and sale of electronic dart guns and electronic stun guns for self-defense purposes. It adds these weapons to the definition of "obstructing governmental administration by means of a self-defense spray device," which is a class D felony. The bill also requires the Department of Health to develop standards and regulations for the purchase, possession, and use of these devices, including a maximum allowable charge and labeling requirements. Licensed firearms dealers and other authorized vendors are permitted to sell these devices, and they must follow certain procedures, such as requiring proof of age and a sworn statement that the purchaser has not been convicted of a felony or assault.
