↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Increases the penalty for discharging a firearm in certain municipalities from a Class A misdemeanor to a state jail felony, so more punishment for that firearm-related offense.
Section 42.12(b), Penal Code, is amended to read as follows: (b) An offense under this section is a state jail felony [deleted: Class A misdemeanor].
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only changes the classification and penalty for the offense of discharging a firearm in certain municipalities (Penal Code §42.12), which is a firearms-related restriction on use; it does not address any of the listed subtopics for firearms, nor any provisions on transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
