Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.

Gun makers face frame and code limits

Washington bans knowingly or recklessly making firearm frames or receivers, including unfinished ones, by any method. It also bans selling, transferring, distributing, or offering to sell digital code for making firearms or unfinished frames or receivers. Code transfers are allowed only to federally licensed firearm manufacturers or dealers licensed solely to repair existing firearms. Possessing this code with intent to distribute it or make these items using 3D printers or computer-controlled milling machines is also banned. The manufacturing and code-possession bans do not apply to those same authorized manufacturers and repair-only dealers.

Limits on helping barred people make guns

Washington bans knowingly or recklessly helping someone make or assemble an undetectable or untraceable firearm when that person cannot legally possess firearms. The ban also applies when the person has signed a voluntary waiver of firearm rights that remains unrevoked. Helping includes sharing digital firearm manufacturing code. Skipping a required background check is evidence of recklessness unless rebutted.

Limits on making prohibited and untraceable guns

Washington bans making machine guns, bump-fire stocks, undetectable firearms, short-barreled shotguns and rifles, and parts designed exclusively for them. Exceptions remain for specified officials and federally exempt or licensed people doing qualifying production, repair, or testing. Short-barreled rifles can be made in compliance with federal law. The law also bans making, assembling, or arranging the manufacture or assembly of untraceable firearms. These bans cover 3D printers, computer-controlled milling machines, and other methods.
