Repeals the offense of unlawful possession of certain ammunition feeding devices
This bill repeals a specific provision (Section 265.37) of New York's Penal Law that previously made it a crime to possess ammunition feeding devices holding more than seven rounds. It directly affects individuals who might have faced charges under this outdated law. The key change is removing this criminal offense entirely, meaning possession of such devices will no longer be prohibited under state law. The bill does not create new restrictions or requirements - it simply eliminates an existing penalty.
