House Bill 4456 amends the Penal Code to specify that the definition of "switchblade knife," for purposes of the offense of prohibited weapons, does not include a knife that has a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure and that requires exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure and open the knife.
