Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to the dangers to safety and health and creation of a public nuisance caused by the sale, manufacturing, distribution, importing and marketing of firearms

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to establish a new article related to the sale, manufacturing, importing, and marketing of firearms. It defines key terms like "reasonable controls and procedures" and "gun industry member" and prohibits any such member from knowingly or recklessly creating, maintaining, or contributing to a condition in New York that endangers public safety or health through the sale, manufacturing, importing, or marketing of firearms. The bill declares a violation of these provisions a public nuisance and provides for enforcement by the Attorney General or local corporation counsel, as well as a private right of action for those damaged by the gun industry member's actions.
