An Act removing devices designed, made, or adapted to muffle the report of a firearm from the definition of 'prohibited weapon.'

SB 243 removes silencers (devices that reduce firearm noise) from Alaska's legal definition of "prohibited weapon" by repealing a specific section of state law (AS 11.61.200(h)(1)(B)). This change directly affects firearm owners who currently need special permits to possess silencers, as they would no longer be classified as prohibited under this definition. The bill modifies the state's firearms regulations to clarify that these devices are not automatically banned, aligning with broader state law on firearm accessories. The bill is currently in committee review and has not yet been enacted.
