Bill overview
The BUMP Act of 2023 aims to combat the illegal modification of firearms, specifically targeting devices that increase the rate of fire of semiautomatic firearms or mimic machinegun operation. It expands the definition of a ‘semiautomatic firearm’ and prohibits the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of modified firearm parts that achieve these effects. The bill also establishes a registration process for existing modified firearms to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
