Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the penal law and the criminal procedure law, in relation to the regulation of three-dimensional printed firearms
AI Summary
This bill addresses the regulation of three-dimensional (3D) printed firearms by adding new provisions to New York state law. Specifically, the bill makes it a class A misdemeanor to intentionally sell, distribute, or dispose of digital instructions (such as computer-aided design files or programming code) that could be used to 3D print certain types of firearms or firearm components, when those instructions are provided to individuals in New York who are not registered gunsmiths with a Type 7 Federal Firearms License. The bill also adds a definition of a "three-dimensional printer" as a computer or computer-driven machine capable of producing three-dimensional objects from digital models. Additionally, the legislation expands existing weapon manufacturing prohibitions to include new categories of weapons and components, such as ghost guns, unfinished frames or receivers, and firearm silencers. The new law will take effect 60 days after it becomes official, and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the law is found invalid, the rest of the law can still be enforced.
