New York state lawmakers are set to approve a package of gun-control bills Thursday, including measures that would require a license to purchase a semi-automatic rifle, ban the purchase or sale of body armor in most cases and eventually require handguns to come equipped with microstamping technology.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has pushed for some of the measures in recent weeks, has already committed to signing the bills into law. The Democrat-led state Senate and Assembly are expected to approve them before the annual legislative session ends Thursday or early Friday. Give the state Division of Criminal Justice Services 180 days to determine whether microstamping — a still-emerging technology that engraves a unique code into the bullet casing when it’s fired from a gun — is technologically viable. If it is, the state would gradually implement a requirement that handguns sold in New York be equipped with the technology.
