The bill amends the Michigan Penal Code by updating Section 224 to include new restrictions on certain firearms and devices. Specifically, it prohibits the manufacture, sale, or possession of a bump stock and a multiburst trigger activator, which are defined as devices that enhance the firing rate of semiautomatic firearms. The bill also clarifies the definitions of "bump stock" and "multiburst trigger activator," detailing how these devices function and their intended use.

Additionally, the bill modifies the penalties for violations of these restrictions, changing the wording from "who" to "that" in the context of individuals who violate the law. It maintains the felony classification for such violations, which is punishable by imprisonment and fines. The bill also updates the terminology for the Secretary of the Treasury and includes exceptions for self-defense devices and licensed manufacturers. Overall, the amendments aim to strengthen firearm regulations in Michigan by addressing specific devices that can increase the lethality of firearms.
