S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2141 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y (PREFILED) January 9, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. SIMOTAS -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Codes AN ACT to direct the division of criminal justice services to study, review and report, to the governor and the legislature, on the laws, rules and regulations relating to air rifles, air pistols and other non-powder guns THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that recent advances in technologies associated with air rifles, air pistols and other non-powder guns have resulted in products that are substantially different than those common in past decades. Changes in materials and techniques used to produce non-powder weapons and ammunition, and the development of guns using carbon dioxide cylin- ders and external supplies of compressed gas, have resulted in the emer- gence of air guns that can approach the velocity and force of weapons using gunpowder. The continued development of more powerful and accu- rate air guns makes it incumbent on the state of New York to reassess the adequacy of its laws, rules, regulations and policies to ensure that the public interest continues to be served. S 2. (a) The division of criminal justice services shall examine, evaluate, review and make recommendations concerning: (1) the current state of and anticipated developments in technologies associated with the design, production and use of air rifles, air pistols and other similar non-powder guns, including the ammunition and ancillary equipment therefor; (2) the current state statutes, the current rules, regulations and policies of state agencies, and any significant laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations and policies of municipalities in the state relating EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
