Bill Summary

An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, providing for the offense of undetectable firearms.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's criminal code to create a new offense for the manufacture, import, sale, possession, or transfer of undetectable firearms. Specifically, it prohibits firearms made entirely of non-metal substances or that lack at least one major metal component, such as the barrel, slide, or frame, if the firearm is not detectable by standard metal detectors or does not generate an accurate image when scanned. Violations of this provision would constitute a third-degree felony.
