Angellyh Yambo Gun Free Zone Expansion Act of 2023
This bill expands gun-free zones around schools and early childhood programs by increasing the protected buffer zone from 1,000 to 5,000 feet. It also prohibits the transfer or possession of "ghost guns" - firearms lacking unique serial numbers or designed to be assembled into a functional firearm. The law directly affects individuals who manufacture, sell, or possess ghost guns, and applies to all school zones and early childhood education programs defined under federal law. Key mechanisms include amending existing statutes to update distance requirements and adding a specific definition and ban for ghost guns. These changes create new federal prohibitions without altering existing state or local gun laws.
