HB 5201 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REDEFINING "LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINE".

HB 5201 would change Connecticut's definition of a "large capacity magazine" from holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition to holding more than 15 rounds. This directly affects firearm owners and retailers who possess or sell magazines meeting the new definition. The key provision amends Section 53-202w of state law to raise the threshold for what qualifies as a "large capacity magazine." The bill does not create new restrictions but adjusts the existing legal standard for magazine capacity.
