Bill > HB1701

This bill prohibits the purchasing of semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms by anyone under twenty years of age. The bill amends existing state law by adding a new provision that makes it a class A misdemeanor for anyone under 20 years old to knowingly purchase these types of firearms in a commercial transaction. The bill also expands the existing offense of "unlawful transfer of weapons" to include knowingly selling or transferring these types of firearms to anyone under 20 years old, with certain exceptions for law enforcement and military personnel.
