ALBANY, New York — Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul wants expanded legal options for New Yorkers negatively impacted by President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement efforts — and is poised to push for them in the coming days.

New York would become the first state to require manufacturers of 3D printers to block production of guns and gun parts under new legislation Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed Wednesday. The proposed legislation would also make it a crime to possess or sell the digital blueprints needed to produce 3D-printed firearms without a license to do so.

The legislative session that began this week poses a significant test of the most closely watched collaboration in state and city politics.

Gov. Kathy Hochul unveiled the legislation as part of her 2026 State of the State agenda, establishing criminal penalties for manufacturing 3D-printed firearms and setting safety standards for 3D printer manufacturers.
