This bill, titled the "Assault Weapon Financing Accountability Act," aims to restrict the financing of certain firearms. It specifically makes it unlawful for any person to offer a "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) loan to an individual for the purchase of a semiautomatic assault weapon . The legislation also prohibits dealers, manufacturers, and importers from knowingly accepting funds obtained through such BNPL loans by unlicensed individuals for these weapons. A "Buy Now, Pay Later" loan is defined as a loan primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, payable in four or fewer installments, not including a down payment. Violations of these prohibitions carry a substantial civil penalty of $100,000 for each infraction, to be assessed by the Attorney General after notice and opportunity for a hearing. The bill includes comprehensive definitions for various types of semiautomatic assault weapons , detailing specific features like pistol grips, threaded barrels, and ammunition feeding device capacities that classify a firearm under this category.
