Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
Now: SB 334 is chaptered (Ch. 771) and is the live Maryland convertible-pistol statute. HB 577 remains rereferred to Judicial Proceedings and is not law. If HB 577 later chapters as a duplicate vehicle, confirm it does not change the SB 334 elements.
Defender utility
Maryland PDs: charge from chaptered SB 334 (Ch. 771), not from this still-pending House twin. Multi-state firms: portable analogue to CA AB 1127 converter-pistol / Glock-switch counts. If HB 577 dies as moot, leave it as a watch twin. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. MD PDs on Glock-switch / convertible-pistol calendars — live law is SB 334 Ch. 771, not this House twin; not a California charge.
