Bill Summary
Prohibits the use of a detachable ammunition magazine with over a fifty-round capacity with any firearm other than a pistol with exceptions.
AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 134-8 to prohibit the use of detachable ammunition magazines with a capacity exceeding fifty rounds with any firearm, with the exception of pistols, though pistol magazine capacity is addressed separately in another subsection. This prohibition does not apply to magazines that were originally designed for more than fifty rounds but have been modified to hold fifty or fewer and cannot be easily restored to their original capacity. The bill also clarifies penalties for violations, making the use of such prohibited magazines with a pistol or other firearm a class C felony, while other violations are misdemeanors, with exceptions for certain licensed individuals or firearms not requiring serial numbers.
