   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision  23  of  section  265.00 of the penal law, as
 amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
   23. "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" means a magazine, belt,
 drum, feed strip, or similar device, that [(a)] has a  capacity  of,  or
 that  can  be  readily  restored  or  converted to accept, more than ten
 rounds of ammunition[, or (b) contains more than seven rounds of ammuni-
 tion, or (c) is obtained after the effective date of the chapter of  the
 laws  of  two thousand thirteen which amended this subdivision and has a
 capacity of, or that can be readily restored  or  converted  to  accept,
 more than seven rounds of ammunition]; provided, however, that such term
 does  not  include  an  attached  tubular device designed to accept, and
 capable of operating only with, .22  caliber  rimfire  ammunition  or  a

 cas thereof, (iii) is possessed by an individual who is  not  prohibited
 by state or federal law from possessing a firearm and (iv) is registered
 with  the  division of state police pursuant to subdivision sixteen-a of
 section 400.00 of this chapter, except such feeding devices  transferred
 into  the  state may be registered at any time, provided they are regis-
 tered within thirty days of their transfer into the state. Notwithstand-
 ing paragraph (h) of subdivision twenty-two of this section, such  feed-
