AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Consolidated Statutes to create a new section that imposes civil liability on firearm owners who fail to report the loss or theft of their firearm within 24 hours. If the failure to report is a proximate cause of a subsequent crime in which the stolen firearm is used, the owner may be held civilly liable for any damages resulting from that crime.
