Bill Summary
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 Consolidated Statutes to create a new offense for the manufacture, importation, sale, possession, or transfer of undetectable firearms. These are firearms that are entirely made of non-metal substances or lack at least one major metal component, such as the barrel, slide, or frame, and are not detectable by standard metal detectors or screening devices. The offense is graded as a third-degree felony. The bill provides definitions for key terms like "major component" to clarify the scope of the law.
