AI Summary
This bill aims to clarify the prosecution of illegal guns. It amends the existing law to impose a fine of $1,000 to $10,000 and/or imprisonment of 1 to 10 years for any licensed firearm dealer, employee, or agent who sells, rents, leases, or delivers a firearm not listed on the approved firearm roster. Additionally, it revises the language in the law to refer to "firearms which meet or exceed the testing criteria" instead of "weapons referred to."
