BILL NUMBER:A1069 REPLACEMENT 6/12/09
Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to exempting the manufacturers of firearm silencers from certain provisions of such law
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill will permit New York manufac- turers, where properly licensed, to manufacture, possess, transport, repair and dispose of firearm suppressors for governmental use only.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would include firearm silenc- ers within the current exemption for manufacture and sale of certain firearms which are otherwise prohibited in New York State, where such weapons are manufactured and sold to various state and local police departments. It would also permit New York manufacturers to repair such weapons.
Justification
This bill would include firearm silencers to the provision of law which authorizes the manufacture and sale of various dangerous instrumentalities to law enforcement and the military. The current law does not allow for the manufacture and sale of firearm suppressors to law enforcement in the state of New York. Current law also prohibits New York manufacturers from repairing such weapons.
