Bill Summary
This bill requires law enforcement officers to complete training regarding the identification of machine gun conversion devices. Under current law, the Police Training Commission is to require all law enforcement officers as a condition of continued employment or appointment as a law enforcement officer to receive periodic commission-approved continuing officer education training. The training is to be mandated or prescribed by the commission. Under this bill, the training required under current law is to include training regarding the identification of machine gun conversion devices and associated firearm components used to convert a semiautomatic firearm into a machine gun.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require law enforcement officers to complete additional training focused on identifying machine gun conversion devices. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Police Training Commission include training about machine gun conversion devices and associated components that can modify a semiautomatic firearm to shoot multiple rounds with a single trigger pull as part of the periodic continuing officer education training. Law enforcement officers must complete this training as a condition of maintaining their employment, and they are required to submit proof of completing the training to their chief law enforcement officer, who will then forward the documentation to the commission. The bill will take effect six months after its enactment, giving law enforcement agencies time to develop and implement the new training requirements. The goal of this legislation appears to be enhancing law enforcement officers' ability to recognize and potentially prevent the illegal modification of firearms into more dangerous, fully automatic weapons.
