Amendments
The SAFE Act was recently amended. The amendments include the following changes to the law:
- Suspending the requirement that only magazines that can contain 7 rounds or less can be purchased. Going forward, magazines can be purchased that can contain up to 10 rounds.
- Clarifying that active law enforcement continues to be exempt from the prohibitions on the possession of high capacity magazines, assault weapons, and magazines containing more than 7 rounds, as well as the law prohibiting weapons on school grounds.
- Ensuring that local safe storage laws are not preempted by the SAFE Act.
