Bill Summary
Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, providing for gun violence task forces.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish gun violence task forces in counties that exceed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Healthy People 2030 goal for the age-adjusted, firearm-related death rate per 100,000. The task forces, under the authority of the Attorney General, will investigate and prosecute violations of firearm possession and sales laws. The task forces will include representatives from various law enforcement agencies, as well as community stakeholders. The Attorney General can also assert preemptive prosecutorial jurisdiction over certain firearm-related offenses, with the task forces having exclusive jurisdiction. The bill also requires annual reporting on the task forces' activities.
