What changed in the latest version
172 added · 338 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Bill SB 522 simplify the language surrounding the use of pneumatic guns and provide more specific guidelines for minors using these guns. Notably, the new version clarifies that local governments can set rules for where pneumatic guns can be used and emphasizes the need for adult supervision for minors. This change is important as it establishes clearer safety regulations that can help mitigate risks associated with pneumatic gun use, particularly in populated areas where safety concerns are heightened.
