Bill > SB0224

This bill amends Michigan's penal code to prohibit the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, or possession of bump stocks and multiburst trigger activators. A bump stock is a device that enables a semiautomatic firearm to fire more than one shot with a single trigger pull by using the firearm's recoil energy to reset and continue firing without additional trigger manipulation. A multiburst trigger activator is broadly defined as any device that can be attached to a semiautomatic firearm to increase its firing rate, including mechanical devices like springs, cranks, or aftermarket triggers that allow multiple rounds to be fired with a single trigger depression. Violations of this prohibition would be considered a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. The bill provides some exceptions, such as for self-defense spray devices, government contractors manufacturing weapons, and persons licensed by the U.S. Treasury Secretary to manufacture or possess such devices. This legislation aims to restrict access to modifications that can effectively convert semiautomatic firearms into weapons capable of firing at a rate similar to automatic weapons.
