A09631 Directs the state police and department of transportation to conduct a study on the feasibility of installing available technologies to screen incoming cars to the state of New York for weapons; requires the state police to submit a report to the governor and legislature.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires a feasibility study and report on technology to screen cars entering New York for weapons, including evaluation of costs, accuracy, traffic effects, and civil liberties. This is a study-only measure with no immediate change to firearm laws, but the topic is substantively addressed because the purpose is screening for weapons (firearms). The axis_effect is neutral because it is only a study with recommendations, not enacting any screening requirement or restriction. No other listed topics are addressed.
