Bill > SF3661

This bill, effective August 1, 2026, aims to enhance public safety by prohibiting the sale and possession of "ghost guns," which are firearms or their unfinished parts that lack a unique serial number, are undetectable by metal detectors, or are manufactured by individuals without a federal firearms license using methods like 3D printing. A "federal firearms licensee" is a federally licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer of firearms. The bill also restricts individuals, unless they are federal firearms licensees, from manufacturing more than three firearms per year and prohibits them from using 3D printers or CNC milling machines to create firearms. Furthermore, it makes it illegal to distribute digital files for manufacturing ghost guns to anyone other than a federal firearms licensee. The legislation mandates that all firearms must have a unique serial number, and existing firearms or unfinished parts without one must be serialized by a federal firearms licensee, permanently removed from the state, rendered inoperable, or surrendered to law enforcement within a specified timeframe. The Commissioner of Public Safety is required to issue a public notice about these provisions. The bill also repeals an existing law related to the alteration of firearm serial numbers.
