Stage: Filed · step 1 of 6
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code §46.06 to create a new offense prohibiting transfer of specific semiautomatic rifles to those under 21 (with exceptions for military, law enforcement, and temporary loans for certain purposes), and increases the penalty for that offense to a state jail felony. This restricts access to those firearms for that age group. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
