An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms and providing for relinquishment of firearms and firearm licenses by convicted persons and for abandonment of firearms, weapons or ammunition; and, in protection from abuse, further providing for definitions, for commencement of proceedings, for hearings, for relief, for return of relinquished firearms, other weapons and ammunition and additional relief, for relinquishment for consignment sale, lawful transfer or safekeeping and for relinquishment to third party for safekeeping, imposing a penalty and providing for order to seal record from public view.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania law to further restrict persons from possessing, using, or transferring firearms if they are prohibited from doing so, such as those subject to a final protection from abuse order. The bill provides detailed procedures for the relinquishment and safekeeping of firearms by these persons, including requiring them to relinquish firearms to law enforcement or a licensed firearms dealer. The bill also allows for the sealing of records related to protection from abuse consent agreements in certain circumstances. Overall, the bill aims to enhance restrictions and safeguards around firearm possession for persons prohibited from having them, particularly in domestic violence situations.
