Why the model tagged it this way: The bill deletes 'firearm' from the list of weapons whose display in an offense bars adolescent-offender removal to family court (while retaining shotgun/rifle/deadly weapon), which expands the ability of firearm-displaying adolescent offenders to be treated in family court rather than adult court. It simultaneously adds a new sexual-contact factor that restricts removal to family court for those offenders. Both changes are in the same paragraph of CPL 722.23(2)(c) and are firearm- and sex-related but do not address any other listed topic axis.
