10 shall contain a description of the weapon that identifies it
11 uniquely, including all identification marks, the full name,

13 other information that the department may deem appropriate.
14 The department may charge a fee for registration of up to

16 (2) The department shall maintain the information
17 received from each registrant in an automatic or

20 officers.
21 (b)(1) Failure to register an automatic or
22 semi-automatic weapon is a Class A misdemeanor.
