The bill amends the existing firearm regulations in Michigan by adding a new section (14c) that establishes strict guidelines regarding the manufacturing, sale, and possession of firearms and firearm components. Key provisions include prohibiting the manufacture or sale of firearms without a valid serial number, the possession of "ghost gun precursors," and the creation of undetectable firearms. Individuals who manufacture or assemble firearms without a license must imprint a valid serial number within ten days of completion and notify the state police. Violations of these regulations can result in significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific exemptions for certain entities and situations, such as law enforcement agencies, federally licensed gunsmiths, and individuals participating in authorized buyback programs. It also defines various terms related to firearms, including "ghost gun precursor," "undetectable firearm," and "valid serial number," ensuring clarity in enforcement. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance public safety by regulating the production and distribution of firearms more stringently.
