Requires manufacturers to include a fired shell casing with each firearm shipped to the state, and requires dealers to submit it to a state ballistic databank for entry, so more firearms are subject to ballistic identification requirements.
Any manufacturer that ships, transports or delivers a firearm to any person in this state shall, in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the division of state police, include in the container with such firearm a separate sealed container that encloses: (a) a shell casing of a bullet or projectile discharged from such firearm;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new requirement for manufacturers and dealers to provide and submit fired shell casings from covered firearms to a state ballistic identification databank, and it broadens the types of firearms subject to this requirement. This adds a new restriction on firearms by expanding the scope of ballistic tracking. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
