	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator De León

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 16220 of the Penal Code, relating to
deadly weapons.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 606, as introduced, De León. Deadly weapons: ballistic knives.
   Existing law generally makes it a crime to manufacture, import,
keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, give, lend, or possess any
ballistic knife. Under existing law a ballistic knife is a nuisance.
Existing law defines a ballistic knife as a device that propels a
knifelike blade as a projectile by means of a coil spring, elastic
material, or compressed gas.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 16220 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   16220.  As used in this part, "ballistic knife" means a device
 that   which  propels a knifelike blade as
a projectile by means of a coil spring, elastic material, or
compressed gas. Ballistic knife does not include any device that
propels an arrow or a bolt by means of any common bow, compound bow,
crossbow, or underwater speargun.
