The bill amends sections 2923.13 and 2923.14 of the Revised Code and enacts a new section, 2923.133, to prohibit specific actions related to trigger cranks, bump-fire devices, and other items that can increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms without converting them into automatic firearms. Notably, it introduces a new provision that makes it illegal for individuals who have been convicted of violating section 2923.133 or adjudicated as delinquents for such violations to acquire or possess firearms. Violating this provision is classified as a felony of the fourth degree.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for individuals prohibited from acquiring firearms to seek relief from such prohibitions. It specifies that relief can be granted if the individual has led a law-abiding life since their conviction or adjudication and is not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms. The bill also includes provisions for the revocation of relief if the individual commits certain offenses, including the newly added violation of section 2923.133. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance firearm regulations concerning devices that accelerate firing rates and to establish stricter consequences for violations.
