A04760 Defines the term "mass shooting" for purposes of emergency response measures and access to emergency funding as a shooting incident in which at least four people are murdered or injured with a firearm, rifle, or shotgun.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses firearms by amending the statutory definition of 'mass shooting' used for emergency response measures and victim services funding. It expands the definition by including murders (previously implied but now explicit) while restricting the alternative clause for injury-only incidents, resulting in mixed effects on what triggers the associated measures; no other listed topics are addressed.
