Florida S.B. 346 would have banned certain 'assault weapons' and large-capacity magazines; died in committee
State bill S0346 — Florida — status: dead
Official title: Assault Weapons and Large-capacity Magazines
What it does
S.B. 346 was a bill that would have prohibited possession, sale, transfer, and manufacture of firearms defined as "assault weapons" and prohibited large-capacity magazines above a specified round count, with defined penalties and limited exemptions. The measure did not advance and was reported as "Died in Criminal Justice."
Industry impact
If enacted, the bill would have required dealers and manufacturers to stop selling and manufacturing affected models and high-capacity magazines for the Florida market, relocate inventory, or pursue permitted exemptions or buyback/disposition options. Retailers would have faced potential criminal and civil compliance risks for prohibited transfers and would need new compliance procedures and training; manufacturers that produce listed models or magazines would see a local market restriction. NFA/SOT holders could be affected depending on how the bill defined covered items and exemptions for federally regulated devices, creating the need to review whether existing NFA transfers or stocks were impacted.
