Bill Summary

CONCERNING PROHIBITED ACTIVITY INVOLVING SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARMS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, PROHIBITING THE MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION, TRANSFER, SALE, AND PURCHASE OF SPECIFIED SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARMS, CLASSIFYING A DEVICE THAT INCREASES THE RATE OF FIRE OF A SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM AS A DANGEROUS WEAPON, AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill establishes comprehensive regulations on semiautomatic firearms and rapid-fire devices in Colorado, with key provisions focusing on defining and restricting certain types of firearms and firearm accessories. The bill prohibits the manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale, and purchase of specified semiautomatic firearms starting August 1, 2026, with some exceptions for law enforcement, military personnel, licensed firearms dealers, and specific educational or professional purposes. It introduces new definitions for "rapid-fire device" and "semiautomatic firearm," classifying any device that increases a firearm's rate of fire as a dangerous weapon. To purchase a specified semiautomatic firearm, individuals must complete comprehensive firearms safety courses and obtain a firearms safety course eligibility card from their county sheriff, which involves background checks and specific training requirements. The bill also establishes a firearms training and safety course record system, creates a new cash fund to support the implementation of these regulations, and includes penalties for violations, such as potential misdemeanor or felony charges. Additionally, the bill provides guidance for firearms dealers and ensures that individuals convicted of unlawful firearm-related activities will be prohibited from possessing firearms in the future.
