AI Summary
This bill, known as the Community Safety Firearms Act, introduces several key provisions related to firearms and firearms accessories. First, it creates new criminal offenses concerning "rapid fire activators," which are devices that can increase a firearm's rate of fire, such as bump stocks, binary trigger systems, and forced reset triggers. The bill makes it unlawful to transport, manufacture, sell, transfer, or possess these devices, with penalties ranging from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B felony. The law includes specific definitions for various types of rapid fire activators and provides limited exceptions for law enforcement and certain registered machine gun owners. Additionally, the bill amends existing Oregon laws to allow governing boards of public universities, school districts, cities, counties, and other government entities to adopt policies prohibiting licensed concealed handgun carriers from possessing firearms in specific buildings or on school grounds. The bill also makes technical amendments to previous legislation related to firearm transfers and large-capacity magazines, effectively delaying the operative date of some provisions to March 15, 2026. The new provisions will become operative on the 91st day after the 2025 legislative session adjourns and will take effect on the same date.
