Summary

This Act creates a civil penalty for any sale or display of ammunition that allows the ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser or transferee without the assistance of the vendor or an employee of the vendor. Ammunition in an enclosed display case, behind a counter or other customer access preventing device is not considered accessible for purposes of this section. This Act also requires that a deadly weapons dealer must include with their license application and renewal application a description of their theft and loss prevention policies and procedures as well as a report of all ammunition losses or theft within the prior year. Finally, the Act increases the maximum monetary penalty for violation of the provisions requiring a license to sell deadly weapons, sale to those under 21 or intoxicated persons, failing to keep required records, or failing to comply with the requirements for background checks between unlicensed persons. It takes effect 1 year after its enactment. This House Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 270 differs from the original in the following ways: It specifies that information related to theft and loss prevention policies and procedures is not subject to FOIA It changes the word “person” to “licensee” in sections 902 and 905. It specifies that the content of loss and prevention policies are not a basis for denial of a deadly weapons dealer license. It reduces all of the monetary penalties. It removes the shoplifting enhancement. It changes jurisdiction over the offense from JP Court to the Court of Common Pleas.
