        Introduced by M. of A. BORES, GLICK, EPSTEIN, SHIMSKY, LEVENBERG, PAULIN
          --  read once and referred to the Committee on Codes -- recommitted to

        AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to defining  personalized
          handguns  and  requiring  the division of criminal justice services to
          certify the technological viability of personalized  handguns  and  to
          establish requirements related to the sale of personalized handguns
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as  the  "safer
     2  weapons, safer homes act".
     3    §  2.  Section  835  of the executive law is amended by adding two new
     4  subdivisions 12 and 13 to read as follows:
     5    12. "Personalized handgun" means a pistol or revolver  which  incorpo-
     6  rates  within its design a permanent programmable feature as part of its
     7  manufacture that cannot be  deactivated  and  renders  the  personalized
     8  handgun reasonably resistant to being fired except when activated by the
     9  lawful  owner  or  other user authorized by the lawful owner. No make or
    10  model of a pistol or revolver shall be  deemed  to  be  a  "personalized
    11  handgun" unless the division of criminal justice services has determined
    12  the  personalized  handgun  meets  the standards established pursuant to
    13  section eight hundred thirty-seven-y of this article.
    14    13. "Authorized user" means the owner of a personalized handgun  or  a
    15  person  to  whom  such  owner  has given consent to use the personalized
    16  handgun.
    17    § 3. The executive law is amended by adding a  new  section  837-y  to
    18  read as follows:
    19    §  837-y.  Personalized handguns; technological viability and require-
    20  ments. 1. As used in this section, the terms "personalized handgun"  and
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD10253-05-4
        A. 8333--A                          2
 
     1  "authorized  user"  shall  have the same meanings as defined in subdivi-
     2  sions twelve and thirteen, respectively, of section eight hundred  thir-
     3  ty-five of this article.
     4    2.  The division or a designee shall within one hundred eighty days of
     5  the effective date of this section:
     6    (a) engage in and complete an investigation to certify the  technolog-
     7  ical viability of personalized handguns; and
     8    (b) certify or decline to certify that personalized handguns are tech-
     9  nologically viable.
    10    3.  Following  a  certification  by  the  division  or a designee that
    11  personalized handguns are technologically viable, the division shall:
    12    (a) within three hundred sixty-five days  from  the  date  of  certif-
    13  ication  of the viability of such technology by the division or a desig-
    14  nee pursuant to subdivision two of this section,  establish  performance
    15  standards,  qualifying  criteria and testing protocols applicable to the
    16  examination and verification of personalized handguns.
    17    (b) within two years from the date of certification of  the  viability
    18  of such technology by the division or a designee pursuant to subdivision
    19  two of this section, establish and maintain a roster of all personalized
    20  handguns  approved  for retail sales to the public. Such roster shall be
    21  published on the division's website and shall be updated at least  every
    22  six  months. A copy of such roster shall be made available to registered
    23  and licensed firearms dealers in the state at least every six months.
    24    4. The division shall report to the legislature on  the  technological
    25  viability of personalized handguns.  The division shall report any find-
    26  ings  to  the legislature of any personalized handgun that is not viable
    27  and is unable to be certified.
    28    5. The division shall promulgate any rule  or  regulation  as  may  be
    29  necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
    30    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
