Stage: Filed · step 1 of 6
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code §46.06 to create a new prohibition on transferring specific semiautomatic rifles to persons under 21 (previously the age limit applied only to handguns, clubs, and location-restricted knives for those under 18), making this a new age-based restriction on acquisition of those firearms; it also increases the penalty for the new offense to a state jail felony. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
