On page 2, line 33, after "section" strike ", "military" and insert ":

(a) "Military"

On page 3, line 2, after "grenades," strike "grenade launchers,"

On page 3, after line 3, insert the following:

"(b) "Grenade" refers to any explosive grenade designed to injure or kill subjects, such as a fragmentation grenade or anti-tank grenade, or any incendiary grenade designed to produce intense heat or fire. "Grenade" does not include other non-explosive grenades designed to temporarily incapacitate or disorient subjects without causing permanent injury, such as a stun grenade, sting grenade, smoke grenade, tear-gas grenade, or blast ball."

EFFECT:   Provides a definition of "grenade" in the context of "military equipment." Specifies that "grenade" refers to any explosive grenade designed to injure or kill subjects, such as a fragmentation grenade or anti-tank grenade, or any incendiary grenade designed to produce intense heat or fire. Further specifies that "grenade" does not include other non-explosive grenades designed to temporarily incapacitate or disorient subjects without causing permanent injury, such as a stun grenade, sting grenade, smoke grenade, tear-gas grenade, or blast ball, thereby providing that the restriction on the acquisition and use of military equipment in the underlying bill does not apply to these types of non-explosive grenades.

Removes grenade launchers from the definition of "military equipment," thereby removing the restriction and use of grenade launchers by law enforcement agencies as provided in the underlying bill.
