↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Prohibits state and local law enforcement from acquiring lethal or offensive weapons through the 1033 program and requires return or disposal of such weapons already acquired, so fewer military-style weapons available to police.
No local police department, county sheriff's office, the division of the state police or any agency that employs a peace officer in this state shall participate in the 1033 federal excess property program for the purposes of receiving lethal or offensive weapons.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses firearms by banning most law-enforcement acquisition and retention of lethal/offensive weapons via the 1033 program (with required divestment) while carving out an exception for NYC counterterrorism use; both provisions are tagged separately as they have opposite effects on the axis of police access to such weapons. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
