Bill Summary
An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms and for abandonment of firearms, weapons or ammunition; in community and municipal courts, further providing for masters; and adding provisions relating to extreme risk protection orders.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Pennsylvania law to:
1. Further regulate firearm possession, including by persons subject to a protection from abuse order or an extreme risk protection order. It creates a new process for issuing extreme risk protection orders, which prohibit a person from possessing firearms if they are found to present a substantial risk of suicide or causing death or serious injury to another person.
2. Provide for the relinquishment and return of firearms when such orders are issued or expire.
3. Authorize the appointment of masters to handle proceedings related to extreme risk protection orders and protection from abuse orders.
The bill aims to enhance public safety by restricting firearm access for individuals deemed to be a significant risk, while also including provisions to protect against abuse of the new extreme risk protection order process.
