I've seen a few threads like this, and this seems to be the general assumption. Can anyone find the text within the bill that states that? and by that logic, isn't transporting it now and it not being registered a felony then?

My concern is exactly that. If they are ALL (including grandfathered?) being re-defined as "Assault Weapons", then where in the law does it state that you are allowed to possess and transport it? Because as far as I know, it is a Class D Felony to transport "Assault Weapons".
The problem is the definition of "Assault Weapon". For example, in New York State, possession of "firearms" is illegal. WTF? You have to look at the definition of a "firearm". A "firearm" is an unlicensed handgun, "machine gun", sound suppressor, SBS, SBR and "Assault Weapon" (probably missed a few). You also have to look at the definition of "Assault Weapon" and the exemptions. A licensed handgun is NOT a "firearm" and I assume
somewhere in the language a registered "Assault Weapon" is not a "firearm"

22. "Assault weapon" means

fails to validly register such weapon within such one year period shall
be given a warning by an appropriate law enforcement authority about
such failure and given thirty days in which to apply to register such

within such thirty-day period shall result in such weapon being removed
