AI Summary
This bill creates two new crimes related to rapid fire activators, which are devices that can increase a firearm's rate of fire beyond normal human capability. The first crime, unlawful transport, manufacture, or transfer of a rapid fire activator, is a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both. The second crime, unlawful possession of a rapid fire activator, is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 364 days in jail, a $6,250 fine, or both. The bill specifically defines various types of rapid fire activators, including bump stocks, binary trigger systems, burst trigger systems, and switches, which can modify firearms to fire more rapidly than manually possible. The law includes exceptions for peace officers and individuals who have legally registered machine guns and need the activator for proper firearm function. The bill contains an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety.
