Pennsylvania SB822 aims to preempt local regulation of firearms and ammunition, allowing only state-level oversight.

Pennsylvania SB822 seeks to clarify the state's exclusive authority over the regulation of firearms and ammunition, preempting any local ordinances, resolutions, regulations, rules, practices, or actions that conflict with state law. The bill also provides legal recourse for individuals adversely affected by local enforcement actions that violate state preemption provisions, allowing them to seek declarative and injunctive relief, actual damages, and reasonable expenses in court.
