I know this should be in the "Guns and Ammo" section but thought it would get more exposure here.

Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1135 (Stats. 2016, ch. 40) and Senate Bill 880 (Stats. 2016, ch. 48) effective January 1, 2017, the definition of assault weapon is revised.
These bills require that any person who, from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2016, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, as defined in Penal Code section 30515, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be readily removed from the firearm with the use of a tool, shall register the firearm before January 1, 2018, but not before the effective date of the regulations adopted by the DOJ.
The “effective date” is July 1, 2018. Which means “assault weapons registration ends at 11:59:59 pm on June 30, 2018.”
It should be noted that there is an extra step for any individual who possesses a firearm manufactured at home via an 80 percent lower. If a gun owner possesses such a firearm, he “must obtain a DOJ-issued serial number by completing form BOF 1008 and emailing it to DOJSerialNumber@doj.ca.gov.” A serial number has to be secured before the firearm can be registered before the law’s effective date of July 1, 2018.
