HB 5717 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING FIREARM MAGAZINE LIMITS AND DECLARATIONS.

HB 5717 eliminates limits on how many rounds firearm magazines can hold, removes the requirement for owners to declare their magazines to the state, and mandates that the state destroy all existing records of such declarations. The bill directly affects firearm owners who currently face magazine capacity restrictions or reporting obligations. Its key provisions remove existing regulatory barriers related to magazine ownership and handling. The stated purpose aligns with affording individuals greater ability to exercise constitutional rights related to firearm possession, without altering other firearm laws.
