AI Summary
This bill amends the General Business Law to address the dangers to public safety and health caused by the sale, manufacturing, distribution, importing, and marketing of firearms. It defines key terms like "reasonable controls and procedures" and "gun industry member." The bill prohibits gun industry members from knowingly or recklessly creating or contributing to conditions that endanger public safety or health through their activities. It declares such violations a public nuisance and provides for enforcement by the Attorney General or local authorities, as well as a private right of action for anyone harmed by a gun industry member's violations. The bill aims to hold the gun industry accountable for the public health crisis of gun violence, especially in underserved communities.
