An individual may assert compliance with this bill as a claim or defense in any civil or criminal proceeding. 
 
The bill repeals provisions, commonly known as the Federal Switchblade Act, that prohibit the introduction of switchblade knives into interstate commerce. It also repeals the Ballistic Knife Prohibition Act of 1986, which prohibits the possession, manufacture, sale, or importation of a ballistic knife. 
 
Finally, it eliminates two criminal provisions&#8212;one that restricts the mailability of switchblade knives, and one that restricts the mailability of ballistic knives.
