An Act To Amend The Law Governing The Disposition Of Forfeited Firearms

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Maine laws regarding the definition of "machine guns" and the handling of seized weapons. It expands the legal definition to include devices that increase a semi-automatic firearm's rate of fire or eliminate the need for a separate trigger pull for each shot, while also providing a clearer definition for semi-automatic firearms. Additionally, the legislation directs the Attorney General to update rules on how forfeited firearms are distributed to and destroyed by state, county, and municipal agencies.
