FL S0912

Expands the definition of "machine gun" in Florida law (s. 790.001) to include any firearm modified by a conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device that mimics automatic weapon fire or increases the rate of fire beyond what is possible unassisted by a single trigger pull (effectively covering bump stocks and similar devices)

Adds the offense of "prohibited acts related to bump-fire stocks" (s. 790.222) to Level 5 of the Criminal Punishment Code's offense severity ranking chart as a third-degree felony

Maintains existing mandatory minimum sentences of 15, 20, and 25 years to life for possession or discharge of a machine gun (under the expanded definition) during the commission of enumerated felonies such as murder, robbery, kidnapping, and drug trafficking

Excludes machine guns (under the expanded definition) from eligibility for a concealed weapon or concealed firearm license
