Bill > S04863

This bill removes references to gravity knives as a dangerous weapon from certain provisions of the New York Penal Law relating to firearms and other dangerous weapons. Specifically, it amends sections of the law to remove gravity knives from the definitions of "deadly weapon" and "automatic knife," as well as from the lists of prohibited items that cannot be manufactured, transported, or possessed. The bill aims to decriminalize the possession and use of gravity knives in certain contexts, such as for hunting, trapping, or fishing with a valid license.
