Interesting. Looks like my Springfield M1A is safe, but I'd have to ditch my 20 round magazines. But overall a dumb law and I hope it doesn't pass. My guess is it won't go anywhere this year, for obvious reasons.

How is it safe? It CAN accept 20 rounders.

I don't think so:
b) Semiautomatic military-style assault weapon also includes any: (1) semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
(iv) a shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned,
Would also include M1 Carbines. M1's should be OK. (For now.)

So under section (2), rimfire rifle with fixed magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, does that then make a tubular magazine rifle such as a Nylon 66 an assault rifle?

Large-capacity magazine does not mean any of the following: (1) a feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than ten rounds; (2) a .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device; or (3) a tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm.
Probably not.

Aren't there cases working their way up to the Supreme Court of the US which have the potential to strike down all so-called "Assault Weapon" bans? Why would anyone even bother to try to pass a law that may well get struck down in the next year? (Other than virtue-signaling).
F*** it, I've decided that if necessary I'll be a scofflaw. At my age and health, the worst that could happen- a twenty year prison sentence- would be a retirement plan. And no I will not plea down; let's see them give 50,000 gun owners each a full trial by jury.

You might think that it’s a dumb law, but laws and regulations preserve freedom by striking a balance among individuals' liberties.

I'm not a single issue voter. But I will vote in the primaries against those who propose gun laws like this.
