Legislative update

With solid majorities in both chambers Democrats do not seem to be in any hurry to reintroduce old bills with new numbers for the current session.

Based upon action in previous years these are likely to come up:

  • A-1054, requires the creation and imposition of restrictive commercial practices and stringent record-keeping and reporting to prevent gun sales to criminals
  • A-1251, microstamping
  • S-1764, “Nicholas’s law”, mandatory firearms storage, companion to A-503

I am still waiting for legislation on the items Gov. Cuomo asked for. A bump-stock ban bill was introduced by Senator Lanza, S-1337, but since he’s a Republican I doubt that is the bill they are going to move.
