Evidence in Civil Actions Relating to Firearms

Summary

The bill would prevent plaintiffs in product‑liability lawsuits from claiming a gun is defective simply because it lacks certain safety mechanisms, such as user‑recognition technology or a loaded‑chamber indicator. It still allows claims if the firearm has an actual design or manufacturing flaw or breaches a warranty. The rule would apply to cases filed on or after July 1, 2026.
