SB 942 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Weapons: other; manufacture, sale, or possession of a bump stock; prohibit. Amends sec. 224 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.224).

This bill amends Michigan's penal code to explicitly prohibit the manufacture, sale, and possession of bump stocks. A bump stock is defined as a device that allows a semiautomatic firearm to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull by using the weapon's recoil energy to reset the trigger automatically. Violating this new prohibition would result in a felony charge punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. The law includes exceptions for licensed federal manufacturers and certain self-defense spray devices, but it strictly targets the specific mechanism of the bump stock device.
