Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
Already chaptered via P.L.2025, c.363. The 2026 A-3595 refile is withdrawn and is not a second charge.
Defender utility
New Jersey defenders: treat Glock-switch / auto-sear / cruciform counts as 2C:39-3(l) third-degree conversion-device possession (or machine-gun if affixed), not as a 2026 proposal. Demand proof the object meets 2C:39-1(oo), that it was not affixed (or plead the affixed machine-gun count honestly), and that consecutive-sentence stacking is authorized. Portable analogue to CA AB 1127 / MD SB 334 converter-pistol cards — still New Jersey elements. bank_signal queued for Data; not a California charge.
Who this is for. NJ PDs on Glock-switch / auto-sear calendars; CA/MD PDs as portable AB 1127 / SB 334 analogue — not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Knowing possession of an unaffixed machine-gun conversion device: crime of the third degree; consecutive to 2C:39-5 assault-firearm or machine-gun possession. Sale/manufacture/transport also criminalized under the chaptered package.
Bank hints
- Motion 202: AB 1127 convertibility modular — NJ P.L.2025 c.363 / 2C:39-3(l) is device possession when no host firearm is possessed, not a §27595 host-pistol sale ban. Not a CA charge.
