What’s in it

This bill prohibits the manufacture, possession, shipment, transportation, or receipt of a multi-burst trigger activator. The bill defines a multi-burst trigger activator to mean a device designed or redesigned to be attached to a semi-automatic firearm, which enables a firearm to discharge two or more shots in a burst by activating the device, or a manual or power-driven trigger activating device constructed or designed so that when attached to a semi-automatic firearm it increases the rate of the fire of that firearm.

Read the full explanation

A multi-burst trigger activator includes firearm accessories, parts, and a combination of parts that significantly increase a semi-automatic firearm’s rate of fire beyond the standard rate of fire for a semi-automatic firearm. A person who violates the bill commits a class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $750 but not more than $7,500.
