The bill amends section 227d of the Michigan penal code, specifically addressing the transportation and possession of firearms and pneumatic guns in motor vehicles. It stipulates that individuals are prohibited from transporting or possessing a firearm, other than a pistol, or a pneumatic gun that expels a metallic BB or pellet greater than .177 caliber while the motor vehicle is in operation, unless certain conditions are met. These conditions include the firearm being unloaded and either taken down, enclosed in a case, carried in the trunk, or made inaccessible from the vehicle's interior.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations of this section, classifying them as misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days of imprisonment, a fine of up to $100, or both. The bill will take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
