Bill > SB43

This bill amends the definition of "frame or receiver" in Pennsylvania's firearms laws by expanding the technical description of what constitutes these critical firearm components. Specifically, the bill adds language to clarify that a frame or receiver includes not just the housing for basic firearm components like the hammer and bolt, but also now explicitly mentions the firing pin, ejector, and extractor. The bill also broadens the definition to include partially manufactured blanks, castings, or machined bodies that are intended or designed to be transformed into a fully functional firearm component. By providing this more detailed and comprehensive definition, the legislation aims to create a more precise legal framework for identifying and regulating firearm parts, which could have implications for tracking, manufacturing, and potential regulation of firearms and firearm components. The amendment takes effect immediately upon enactment.
