Enacts "Francesco's law"; repealer

Summary

The bill amends New York's penal law to tighten safe‑storage rules for rifles, shotguns and firearms, making it a misdemeanor to leave a weapon unsecured when a minor or a prohibited person could access it. It also repeals an older provision, mandates that violators receive safe‑storage materials, and requires the state to publish annual data on gun‑related injuries to minors. The goal is to reduce accidental shootings and improve accountability for gun owners.
