Not a State law- but a Federal law- the National Firearms Act of 1934- requires that a rifle that has a barrel less than 16 inches, or an overall length of less than 26 inches, must be registered as a "short barreled rifle" with the BATFE, and a transfer tax ($200) be paid for it.
There ARE exceptions- rifles such as the Winchester Trapper Model with a 14 inch barrel is specifically exempted from this law.
