The proposed bill seeks to amend the Michigan penal code by adding a new section, 224g, which prohibits the sale, offering for sale, or possession of magazines capable of holding more than a specified number of rounds of ammunition, effective January 1, 2027. This regulation aims to restrict access to high-capacity magazines within the state.
Violators of this new provision would be classified as guilty of a misdemeanor, facing potential penalties that include imprisonment for up to 90 days, a fine not exceeding $500, or both. This legislative change reflects an effort to enhance gun control measures in Michigan.
