Stage: Filed · step 1 of 6
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code §46.06 to prohibit transfers of semiautomatic rifles to persons under 21 (raising the age from the prior 18 for firearms generally) and to carve semiautomatic rifles out of the under-18 prohibition that continues to apply to other firearms; these changes add age-based restrictions on acquiring certain firearms. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
