If signed by the required number of registered voters and timely filed with the Secretary of State, this petition will place on the statewide ballot a challenge to a state law previously approved by the Legislature and the Governor. The challenged law must then be approved by a majority of voters at the next statewide election to go into effect. The law would redefine assault weapons to include semiautomatic firearms without a permanently fixed ammunition magazine, and would permit individuals who lawfully possess an assault weapon prior to January 1, 2017 to maintain possession.
