What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally prohibits a person from manufacturing, selling,

transporting, purchasing, or possessing a switchblade knife. This bill excludes from

the definition of switchblade knife a knife with closure-biased springs that require

physical force to be applied to the blade in order to open the knife. This bill exempts

from the prohibition qualified law enforcement officers, qualified former law

enforcement officers, and persons who have a license to carry a concealed weapon,

including certain out-of-state licenses.
