Introduced
by
To revise the definition of “firearm” in the state penal code so it longer applies to BB, pellet, paint ball or "air-soft" guns. The new definition would be a gun that "expels a projectile by action of an explosive." However, using one of those non-firearms to commit a crime would still be subject to serious criminal penalties (the bill authorizes up to five years for a first offense).
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
