Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new criminal offense under Penal Code 46.06 for prohibited persons to knowingly purchase or receive certain firearm magazines, and defines magazines, which restricts access to firearm accessories. It also adds a data non-registry provision for incidental seller information but this does not change the core restriction on magazines.
