Establishes a private cause of action allowing any person (with standing) to sue those who violate prohibitions on machine-guns, assault weapons, ghost guns, etc., for injunctive relief, statutory damages of at least $10,000 per item (later amended to court-determined amount), and attorney's fees, (
Any person, other than an officer or employee of a state or local governmental entity in the state, shall have a private cause of action against any person who does any of the following: (a) Knowingly violates section eight hundred ninety-eight-k of this article.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds prohibitions on commercial and transfer activities involving specified restricted firearms and components, and creates a private right of action to enforce them with significant civil penalties. This expands restrictions on firearms access and imposes greater potential liability on manufacturers, distributors, and sellers. The later amendment in section 2 reduces the mandatory minimum damages to a court-determined amount but does not change the overall restrictive direction.
