Pennsylvania HB1051 amends firearm sale regulations and imposes a $10 surcharge on firearm sales.
Pennsylvania HB1051 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to revise the sale and transfer of firearms. It mandates that licensed dealers must not sell firearms without completing a criminal history, juvenile delinquency, and mental health records background check. The bill also requires the Pennsylvania State Police to notify dealers of any electronic failures or scheduled downtimes that could delay the background check. Additionally, it imposes a $10 surcharge on each firearm sale, with the proceeds deposited into the Firearm Instant Records Check Fund.
