AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Penal Law to prohibit the manufacture, transport, shipment, or possession of "undetectable knives." An "undetectable knife" is defined as any knife or other instrument that does not use materials detectable by a metal detector or magnetometer, and was commercially manufactured to be used as a weapon. The bill makes it a crime to possess such knives with the intent to use them unlawfully against another, as well as a crime to manufacture, transport, or ship these types of knives. The bill aims to enhance public safety by restricting access to knives that can evade metal detectors and be used for harmful purposes.
