AN ACT relating to firearms liability protections and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The act creates a new section of Kentucky law that shields firearm and ammunition manufacturers and sellers from liability for criminal misuse of their products, unless they violate explicit firearm statutes or engage in negligent marketing aimed at people who cannot legally own guns. It puts the burden on plaintiffs to prove those violations with clear and convincing evidence and provides fast‑track procedures for dismissing improper claims. Parties that bring prohibited claims can be ordered to pay the defendant’s attorney fees and daily civil penalties, and may face additional lawsuits for damages.
