↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Prohibits state police, sheriffs, town police, and other local police from authorizing the transfer, acceptance, or purchase of military weapons from the US government via the 1033 program (with narrow exceptions for NYPD and state police for counter-terrorism), so less access to military-grade gear
The superintendent, or the superintendent's deputies, shall not authorize the transfer, acceptance, or purchase of military weapons from the United States government.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds prohibitions on state and local law enforcement authorizing the transfer, acceptance, or purchase of military weapons from the US government (i.e., via the 1033 program), with a narrow exception only for counter-terrorism use by the city of New York and state police. This restricts access to military weapons and gear for police under the firearms topic (subtag weapon-accessory-restrictions). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
