Relating to prohibiting the transfer of certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients; creating a criminal offense; increasing a criminal penalty.

HB 1150 prohibits the transfer of certain semiautomatic rifles (those with detachable magazines and caliber >.22) to individuals under 21 years old. It directly affects gun sellers, retailers, and anyone under 21 attempting to receive such rifles. The bill creates a new criminal offense for these transfers, with exceptions for peace officers and honorably discharged military personnel. Violations would be elevated from a Class A misdemeanor to a state jail felony, increasing penalties for non-compliance.
