Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill HB 22 specifically address the regulations concerning "auto sears" and "trigger activators," which are devices that allow semi-automatic firearms to fire multiple rounds quickly. The amended text clearly defines these devices and makes it illegal to manufacture, sell, possess, or transport them in Virginia, with violations resulting in a Class 6 felony. This legislation aims to improve public safety by restricting access to devices that can increase the rate of fire of firearms, which could potentially be used in criminal activities.
