                STATE OF NEW YORK
        ________________________________________________________________________
 
                                          10504
 
                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      May 30, 2022
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Burgos) --
          read once and referred to the Committee on Codes
 
        AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to defining firearm
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  3  of  section  265.00  of the penal law, as
     2  amended by chapter 189 of the laws  of  2000,  is  amended  to  read  as
     3  follows:
     4    3. "Firearm" means (a) any pistol or revolver; or (b) a shotgun having
     5  one  or more barrels less than eighteen inches in length; or (c) a rifle
     6  having one or more barrels less than sixteen inches in  length;  or  (d)
     7  any weapon made from a shotgun or rifle whether by alteration, modifica-
     8  tion, or otherwise if such weapon as altered, modified, or otherwise has
     9  an  overall  length  of  less  than twenty-six inches; or (e) an assault
    10  weapon; or (f) any other weapon that is not otherwise  defined  in  this
    11  section  containing  any  component that provides housing or a structure
    12  designed to hold  or  integrate  any  fire  control  component  that  is
    13  designed  to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by action
    14  of explosive. For the purpose of this  subdivision  the  length  of  the
    15  barrel  on  a  shotgun  or  rifle  shall  be determined by measuring the
    16  distance between the muzzle and the face of the bolt, breech, or breech-
    17  lock when closed and when the shotgun or rifle is  cocked;  the  overall
    18  length  of a weapon made from a shotgun or rifle is the distance between
    19  the extreme ends of the weapon measured along a  line  parallel  to  the
    20  center line of the bore. Firearm does not include an antique firearm.
    21    §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
    22  have become a law.
 
 
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
