New York S00867 amends the general obligations law to provide a right of action for individuals injured or killed by the negligent entrustment of a firearm. This means that anyone injured by a firearm due to negligent entrustment can seek actual and punitive damages from the responsible party. In cases of death, the right of action survives to the executor or administrator. The law aims to extend negligent entrustment liability to the maximum extent allowed under federal law.
