Bill > S3110

This bill amends existing law in Rhode Island concerning firearm possession by minors, specifically targeting individuals under the age of eighteen (18). The key change is the removal of the phrase "and use" from the current law, which previously prohibited minors from possessing and using firearms unless under specific supervised conditions like at a rifle range or during lawful hunting. While the original law outlined several exceptions for minors to possess and use firearms under adult supervision, this bill, by removing "and use," appears to be moving towards a broader prohibition on possession for those under 18, though the exact scope of this change is not fully detailed without the full context of the original statute's intent. The bill also states that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
