Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds offenses under Penal Code Ch. 46 for manufacturing, possessing, transporting, repairing, or selling firearms or major components (barrel, slide/cylinder, frame/receiver) made with a 3D printer, and for distributing or publishing digital firearm schematics (CAD files) intended for such manufacture. It creates new restrictions on 3D-printed firearms and accessories, with limited defenses for law enforcement, licensed federal dealers, or approved research. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
