An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, providing for the offense of negligent marketing.

Summary

The bill adds a new section to Pennsylvania’s criminal code that makes it illegal to sue a gun manufacturer or seller for negligent marketing unless four specific requirements are met, including targeting people who cannot legally own guns and a direct link to the plaintiff’s injury. It also forces courts to dismiss improper suits, award attorney fees to the defendant, and lets manufacturers file counterclaims.
