↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Prohibits state police, sheriffs, town police, and certain municipal police from authorizing the transfer, acceptance, or purchase of military weapons from the US government (including via the 1033 program), except for NYC and state police for counter-terrorism purposes, so fewer military-grade arms
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, county, town, and certain municipal police authorizing transfer/acceptance/purchase of military weapons from the federal government (banning 1033 program participation except for limited counter-terrorism use by NYC and state police). This restricts law-enforcement access to military-grade firearms and gear under the firearms topic (weapon-accessory-restrictions subtag). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
