↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Expands the list of firearm-related offenses that qualify for imposing bail, revoking release, or committing to custody, making it easier to detain defendants charged with such offenses.
any other crime in violation of article two hundred sixty-five of the penal law involving the use of a machine-gun, firearm silencer, firearm, rifle, shotgun, disguised gun, ghost gun or assault weapon, as such terms are defined in section 265.00 of the penal law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends multiple provisions of the criminal procedure law to expand the qualifying offenses for bail, pretrial release revocation, and detention to include additional crimes under Penal Law Article 265 that involve the use of specified firearms, ghost guns, or assault weapons. This does not change substantive firearm access, ownership, or carry rules but facilitates greater pretrial detention for certain firearm-related charges, which falls under the firearms/other tag. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
