Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates creation and school-based distribution of educational materials on New York's child access prevention and safe firearm storage laws (Penal Law §§ 265.45 and 265.50), plus resources for prevention. This promotes greater adherence to existing storage rules for minors without altering the underlying legal requirements.
