=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Requires a state agency to study and report on performance standards and qualifying criteria for personalized firearms that can only be fired by authorized users, which would inform potential future rules limiting who can fire a gun.
The division or a designee shall within two years of the effective date of this section engage in and complete a study that describes performance standards, qualifying criteria, and testing protocols necessary to determine the technological viability of personalized firearms and identifies by make and model firearms that qualify as personalized firearms.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill is a study-and-report mandate on the technological viability of personalized (smart) firearms, plus a definition of the term. It changes nothing about current firearm access, ownership, or restrictions; it is purely research and reporting, which is neutral on the firearms axis. No other listed topics are addressed.
