Bill > SF3661

This bill aims to enhance public safety by prohibiting the sale and possession of "ghost guns," which are firearms that lack a unique serial number, are undetectable by metal detectors or easily modified to be so, or are manufactured by individuals not holding a federal firearms license (a business licensed to import, manufacture, or deal in firearms). It also restricts individuals from manufacturing more than three firearms per year and prohibits the use of 3D printers or CNC milling machines by those without a federal firearms license to create firearms. The bill mandates that any firearm or unfinished frame or receiver (a part that can be readily completed into a functional firearm) manufactured without a serial number must be serialized by a federal firearms licensee, permanently rendered inoperable, removed from the state, or surrendered to law enforcement within specific timeframes, with exceptions for law enforcement and military personnel. Furthermore, it makes it illegal to distribute digital files for manufacturing ghost guns to anyone other than a federal firearms licensee, and requires the Commissioner of Public Safety to issue a public notice about these serialization requirements by August 1, 2026, while also repealing an existing law that addresses the removal or alteration of firearm serial numbers.
