Modifies provisions relating to machine guns
HB 2683 clarifies the legal definition of "machine gun" to include firearms capable of automatic fire with a single trigger pull, as well as those modified with devices like bump stocks, auto sears, or "Glock switches." This definition affects law enforcement, courts, and legal proceedings involving firearm regulations, ensuring consistent application of state laws regarding automatic weapons. The bill does not create new restrictions but updates terminology to align with modern firearm modifications. It directly impacts how machine guns are categorized under state law, particularly for prosecution of offenses involving such weapons.
