↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Broadens the list of firearm and weapon possession felonies (under article 265) for which courts are permitted to remand the defendant to custody pretrial, so more such defendants are subject to pretrial detention.
any felony offense involving criminal possession of a firearm or criminal possession of a weapon in violation of article two hundred sixty-five of the penal law
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends pretrial release statutes to expand remand authority to all felonies under Penal Law article 265 involving firearm or weapon possession (broadening from a narrower prior list) while deleting the explicit inclusion of criminal sale of a firearm to a minor; both changes affect only the firearms topic under the 'other' subtag, with opposing directions on the axis of firearm-related pretrial detention.
