Pennsylvania SB200 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to prohibit the possession, manufacture, and transfer of assault weapons and large capacity magazines, with exceptions for certain professionals and law enforcement officers. It defines "assault weapon" and "large capacity magazine," and outlines specific firearms and shotguns that fall under these definitions. The bill mandates that individuals who obtain ownership of an assault weapon must either render it permanently inoperable, sell it through a buyback program, or surrender it to law enforcement within 90 days.
