Regardless of the list of sections that are affected, the only thing this bill does is repeal 750.226a - the ban on "auto knives".
This is a good start and a clean bill (at this point).
There is still a lot of work to do in the area of Michigan knife laws, again, a good start.

AGENDA
SB 245 Sen. Jones Weapons; other; spring-assisted knife; allow.
wow. I read it through twice and still missed the "226a is repealed" at the end
let's hope the FUDs make the same mistake.
with modern knives, there is absolutely no need for the distinction in types of knives. My edc, which has no springs, assists, etc, is actually easier to lock open and closed than many switchblades i've checked out.
which really just means the law against switchblades is absolutely pointless and founded in movie fantasy.
Here is the judiciary committee per this page... http://www.senate.michigan.gov/committee/judiciary.html
Rick Jones (R) Committee Chair, 24th District
Tonya Schuitmaker (R) Vice Chair, 26th District
Tory Rocca (R) 10th District
Patrick Colbeck (R) 7th District
Steven M Bieda (D) Minority Committee Chair, 9th District
None of those people are from my district, so I'm counting on you folks to put their feet to the fire. I'm not a constituent who matters, so I did what I can by linking to each one of their "contact me" pages, making it easy for you folks.
It's Jones bill so it won't have a problem getting out of committee.
I am pleasantly surprised by this one and who sponsored it.
