HB 548 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to firearm suppressors

The bill does not change suppressor regulations but clarifies terminology for consistency with existing statutes. It directly affects law enforcement, firearm owners, and manufacturers by standardizing definitions used in firearm-related laws. The legislation focuses on precise language rather than altering suppressor ownership or use rules. (Note: The bill text provided contains definitions but no new provisions affecting suppressor legality.)
