Bill > SB348

This bill amends Pennsylvania law by creating a new requirement for firearm owners to report the theft or loss of a firearm within 24 hours of discovering it to the local police department. When reporting, the owner must provide detailed information about the firearm, including their name and address, the manufacturer, model, type of action, caliber or gauge, serial number, and any other information the law enforcement officer deems necessary. The police department must then forward these details to the Pennsylvania State Police, who will collect and file the information and make it available to law enforcement agencies to help locate the stolen or lost firearms. If a firearm owner fails to report a lost or stolen firearm within the required timeframe, they will be subject to a summary offense punishable by a fine of up to $500. The law will go into effect 60 days after its passage, giving firearm owners and law enforcement agencies time to prepare for the new reporting requirement.
