An act to amend Section 12200 of the Penal Code, relating to firearms. A machinegun is defined to mean, in part, any weapon that shoots, or is designed to shoot, automatically, more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger, and includes any frame receiver that can only be used with that weapon. By expanding the definition of a machinegun, this bill would expand the scope of a crime and impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
