The bill amends the Michigan Penal Code, specifically section 224, to enhance regulations surrounding the possession and sale of certain firearms and related devices. It introduces new prohibitions against the manufacture, sale, or possession of a "bump stock" and a "multiburst trigger activator," which are devices that enable semiautomatic firearms to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. The bill also clarifies definitions for these terms, ensuring that they encompass various forms and mechanisms that could increase the rate of fire of a firearm.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding penalties for violations of these regulations, 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 definitions of "muffler" and "silencer," providing a clearer understanding of what constitutes these devices under the law. Overall, the amendments aim to tighten control over specific firearms and accessories deemed dangerous.
