AI Summary
This bill, the Protect Children Through Safe Gun Ownership Act, amends the federal law (Chapter 44 of Title 18, United States Code) to require parents or guardians to have actual knowledge that a juvenile's possession or use of a handgun will be under their active supervision before providing written consent. It also creates a new requirement for gun owners to securely store their firearms, and establishes a private right of action and civil penalties for violations. Additionally, the bill creates a grant program for local educational agencies to provide parents with educational materials on gun safety and secure storage. The bill also requires the Attorney General to submit periodic reports on the implementation of the new requirements.
