- Machine gun conversion devices prohibited
- Description
Under existing law, persons are prohibited from possessing certain firearms.
This bill would prohibit persons from possessing a part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a pistol into a machine gun.
This bill would also provide criminal penalties for violations.
Section 111.05 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose.
The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it came within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment.
