This FY2026-27 budget bill's Part C amends the penal law on "convertible pistols" (semi-automatic pistols with a cruciform trigger bar that can be readily converted to automatic fire) and treats such a pistol fitted with a pistol converter as a machine gun. It creates crimes related to using 3D printers to make ghost guns and firearm components, and adds requirements that 3D printers sold in the state include firearm-blocking technology, with a working group to recommend minimum standards.
What it does: Restricts convertible pistols and 3D-printed guns; adds 3D printer blocking-technology requirements.
