S.F. No. 2596 increases the criminal penalty for intentionally transferring a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon to a person known to be ineligible to possess from a gross misdemeanor to a felony (statutory maximum sentence of two years imprisonment and/or $4,000 fine). Also specifies the statutory maximum penalty for the current enhanced offense (see subdivision 2). This is not a substantive change (Minnesota Statutes, section 609.03, provides that felonies without specified penalties have five year/$10,000 fine statutory maximum sentences).
