Bill > A04816

This bill limits the application of the "safe act" to the counties of Kings, Queens, Richmond, New York and Bronx. The key provisions of the bill include: - Limiting the firearm surrender and license suspension/revocation procedures in the criminal procedure law, family court act, and other laws to only those counties. - Requiring certain determinations regarding firearms licenses and surrenders to be made only in those counties. - Limiting the private sale or disposal of firearms, rifles, and shotguns, as well as ammunition sales, to those counties. - Requiring the registration of certain assault weapons and firearms only for residents of those counties. - Repealing the statewide license and record database provisions. The bill aims to apply the stricter "safe act" regulations only to the specified high-population counties in New York, while rolling back those provisions for the rest of the state.
