Senate: Read; and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
The bill makes it illegal to make, sell, possess, or operate any robot that has a weapon attached, imposing prison terms and eliminating early‑release benefits. It also criminalizes using such robots to threaten, harass, or restrain a person, while giving police a narrow exemption for bomb disposal, emergency property destruction, and related training, provided they follow warrant rules. Victims can sue for damages, and law‑enforcement agencies must publicly report each use.
