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.

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 I read it through twice and still missed the "226a is repealed" at the end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.

No clause in the constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.

I think most knives with a liner/frame lock can do it. They might take a little oil on the pivot pin to flip open reliably, but that's not a big deal.
That's why NY has had such a fun time charging people with felonies. Anything you can open without having to use your other hand, or pry open with your thumb is considered a "gravity knife" there.

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.
