Bill > S07245

This bill proposes to repeal Section 265.37 of the New York State Penal Law, which previously criminalized the possession of ammunition feeding devices (commonly known as magazines) that can hold more than seven rounds of ammunition. By repealing this section of the law, the bill effectively eliminates the legal prohibition on possessing these larger-capacity ammunition magazines. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning that as soon as it is signed, the restrictions on large-capacity magazines would be removed. While the bill text is brief, it represents a significant change in New York's firearm-related regulations, specifically concerning the size of ammunition magazines that individuals are allowed to possess.
