Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends an existing prohibition on silencers by expanding the exemption in Penal Code 33415 to cover additional level I reserve peace officers under specified conditions. This reduces restrictions on silencer possession for those individuals. No other qualifying topics are substantively addressed.
