The bill amends section 227 of the Michigan penal code to clarify regulations regarding the carrying of certain weapons. It specifies that individuals are prohibited from carrying a dagger, dirk, stiletto, or any other dangerous weapon with a blade longer than 6 inches, except for hunting or fishing knives that are adapted and carried as such. The bill also stipulates that these weapons cannot be concealed on a person or in a vehicle, except in the person's dwelling, place of business, or on land they possess.

Additionally, the bill addresses the carrying of concealed pistols, stating that individuals must have a license to carry a pistol and must adhere to any restrictions on that license. The penalties for violating these regulations remain a felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to $2,500. The amendments include changes to the language for clarity, such as replacing "his or her" with "the person's" and specifying the length of blades for prohibited weapons.
