The bill amends sections 2923.13 and 2923.14 of the Revised Code and enacts a new section, 2923.133, to address the regulation of certain firearm accessories that enhance the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms, specifically trigger cranks and bump-fire devices. Under the new section 2923.133, it will be illegal for any person to import, manufacture, sell, transfer, or possess these devices after a specified period. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision in section 2923.13 that prohibits individuals who have been convicted of violating section 2923.133 from acquiring or using firearms, thereby expanding the criteria for firearm disability.

The bill also outlines the process for individuals seeking relief from firearm prohibitions under section 2923.14, detailing the necessary application requirements and conditions for relief. Notably, the bill specifies that relief from disability will be automatically void if the individual commits any offenses listed in the amended section 2923.13, including the new violation related to illegal rate-of-fire acceleration conduct. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance firearm safety by restricting access to devices that can significantly increase the firing capability of semi-automatic weapons.
