Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2026
Not law yet. Pending legislation.
Sen. Kaine and Sen. Warner
Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: introduced only; referred to Senate Judiciary; not present 922. IF CHAPTERED: new federal private-transfer, 1-in-30, unserialized-frame, feature-test AWB, national ERPO, and status-disqualifier slices would become live federal counts.
Defender utility
Federal defenders: this is a pending national overlay, not present 922. If any slice moves, isolate the charged subsection (private-transfer FFL conduit, 1-in-30, unserialized frame, feature-test AWB, ERPO, or status disqualifier) and do not treat the omnibus title as a single offense. CA PDs: portable as a Bruen vehicle next to AB 1263 / AWB / DROS — not a California charge.
Who this is for. Federal defenders and multi-state firms tracking a pending national AWB/PMF/ERPO/FFL-transfer overlay — not present law; not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Would ride on 18 U.S.C. 924 for the new 922(aa)/(bb)/(p) and assault-weapon slices; ERPO/status pieces would add 922(g)-style disabilities. Not in force.
