Law enforcement: other; destruction of weapons; require for buyback programs. Amends 1935 PA 59 (MCL 28.1 - 28.16) by adding sec. 5a.
This law requires the Michigan State Police to destroy any firearms that are collected and turned over to the department through municipal gun buyback programs. Starting April 2, 2025, the department must ensure every part of these weapons is destroyed and is prohibited from reselling them. The rule applies to any weapon designed to fire projectiles using an explosive charge, such as guns, and directly affects local governments that run buyback events and the state agency responsible for disposing of the collected items.
