Bill Summary
Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, providing for civil liability of firearm owner for loss or theft.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to impose civil liability on firearm owners who fail to report the loss or theft of their firearms within 24 hours to the local police or the Pennsylvania State Police. If the failure to report is a proximate cause of a subsequent crime involving the lost or stolen firearm, the owner may be held civilly liable for any resulting damages. The bill aims to incentivize firearm owners to be responsible and promptly report such incidents, which could help prevent the misuse of lost or stolen firearms.
