This bill amends Section 724.29 of the Iowa Code to specifically address the sale or offer for sale of trigger cranks, a type of firearm device. The bill defines a trigger crank as any device that attaches to a firearm and repeatedly activates its trigger through a circular motion mechanism, while explicitly excluding weapons that were originally designed to operate with a crank or lever.

Under the revised law, individuals who sell or offer trigger cranks will be guilty of an aggravated misdemeanor, which carries penalties of up to two years of confinement and fines ranging from $855 to $8,540. The bill removes the broader category of manual or power-driven trigger activating devices from the previous law, narrowing the focus solely to trigger cranks.
