Bill summary

Official digest is not on this card.

Now vs if chaptered

NOW: referred to Codes; thumbhole stock remains an AWB feature. IF chaptered: thumbhole-only rifles/shotguns drop out of §265.00(22); other features still trigger the ban.

Defender utility

NY PDs on CPW / §265.00(22) assault-weapon calendars: this print only deletes the thumbhole-stock feature. Live SAFE Act definition still includes thumbhole stock. Demand the exact feature the People plead. Portable AWB analogue — not a California charge.

Who this is for. NY PDs on assault-weapon calendars — pending thumbhole-stock carve-out, not present law; not a California charge.
