The bill amends several sections of the General Laws in Chapter 11-47, which pertains to weapons, to include new definitions and regulations regarding stun guns. It introduces the definition of a "stun gun" as a battery-powered handheld device that transmits an electric charge to a person. The bill establishes that individuals aged eighteen and over may purchase or possess a stun gun, while prohibiting the sale or transfer of such devices to individuals under eighteen. Violations of this prohibition can result in felony charges, with penalties including imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years.

Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of a stun gun in the commission of a crime, with violators facing felony charges and potential penalties of up to ten thousand dollars in fines or imprisonment for not more than ten years. It also specifically prohibits the use of a stun gun on a police officer engaged in their duties, with similar penalties applied. The bill clarifies that any sentence imposed for using a stun gun against a police officer must be served consecutively to any sentence for the underlying crime.

Overall, the legislation aims to regulate the possession and use of stun guns, enhancing public safety through defined age restrictions and penalties for misuse.
