Bill Summary
Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for licenses.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Pennsylvania's existing firearms licensing regulations by changing the rules for accessing the Firearms License Validation System (FLVS). Currently, law enforcement personnel can only make inquiries about the validity of a Pennsylvania firearm carry license while acting within their official duties. The new provision adds a restriction that information from the FLVS cannot be shared with law enforcement from states that have not established a reciprocity agreement with Pennsylvania regarding firearm carry licenses. This means that officers from states without a specific agreement with Pennsylvania will be unable to verify the status of a Pennsylvania firearm carry license through the state's validation system. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving state agencies time to implement the new requirements and potentially negotiate reciprocity agreements with other states.
