Changes the definition of 'mass shooting' from four or more injured to four or more murdered or injured, which affects which incidents trigger emergency response measures and access to emergency funding.
"Mass shooting" means an incident in which at least four people are murdered or injured with a firearm, rifle, or shotgun.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only amends a statutory definition used for emergency response and victim services funding eligibility; it does not change any rules on buying, owning, carrying, or using firearms or accessories.
