=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Grants peace officer status to certain court reporters (with explicit limits on firearm authority), which may affect their legal powers or duties but does not change rules on buying, owning, carrying or making firearms.
Court reporters in the first and second departments, provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to authorize such employees to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm unless the appropriate license therefor has been issued pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill grants peace officer status to specific court reporters but includes an explicit disclaimer that this does not authorize firearm carry/possession without a standard license; this is a neutral change for the firearms topic axis with no expansion or restriction of access or rules. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
