Bill > S05952

This bill establishes new regulations for gunsmiths who manufacture firearms using three-dimensional (3D) printers in New York State. Specifically, the bill requires that any gunsmith with a valid license who creates a firearm using a 3D printer must inscribe each manufactured firearm with a unique identifying number and register that number with the state police. Additionally, for gunsmiths located in New York City, Nassau, or Suffolk County, they must also register the firearm with the local licensing officer. The bill prohibits anyone without a valid gunsmith license from using a 3D printer to create firearms, rifles, shotguns, or their component parts. Gunsmiths using 3D printers must ensure their creations comply with all local, state, and federal laws and must maintain detailed records of each firearm created, including a description of the item, the date of creation, its unique identifying number, and information about any subsequent transfers. The new regulations will take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law, giving gunsmiths time to adapt to the new requirements.
