Bill overview
This bill seeks to modernize the terminology used to describe firearms silencers in California law. Specifically, it proposes replacing the term "silencer" with "suppressor" across several sections of the Penal Code. The bill also addresses probation eligibility for felony defendants convicted of possessing silencers, ensuring that probation is not granted if a silencer was in their possession. It maintains existing provisions regarding weapon surrender and destruction by law enforcement.
