HB 384 would prohibit the transfer of certain semiautomatic rifles to specific recipients, creating a new criminal offense for violations. The bill also increases the criminal penalty for individuals who transfer these firearms in violation of the prohibition. This legislation targets a defined category of firearms (semiautomatic rifles) and a defined group of recipients, though specific details are not provided in the available summary. The bill was filed in 2024 and referred to the Homeland Security, Public Safety & Veterans' Affairs committee for further review.
