Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to the regulation of pistol converters and convertible pistols
AI Summary
This bill makes it illegal for certain individuals to possess or sell a "pistol converter," which is defined as a device that, when attached to the rear of a semi-automatic pistol's slide, interferes with the trigger mechanism to allow rapid or automatic firing with a single trigger pull. It also defines a "convertible pistol" as a semi-automatic pistol with a specific trigger bar design that can be easily modified with common household tools to function like a machine gun when a pistol converter is attached, excluding hammer-fired pistols from this definition. The bill makes it a felony to dispose of, transport, or ship a convertible pistol, though exceptions exist for law enforcement, military personnel, and licensed gunsmiths or dealers. Additionally, the superintendent of state police is directed to create and publish a list of pistols determined to be convertible.
