An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for licenses, providing for liability insurance and further providing for sale or transfer of firearms.
This bill requires individuals in Pennsylvania who wish to obtain a license to carry a concealed firearm to purchase liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000. The legislation mandates that license applicants provide proof of this insurance to the state and carry the insurance certificate with their firearm at all times. If a person fails to produce the required insurance document when asked by law enforcement, the officer must confiscate the firearm and the state will revoke the individual's license. Additionally, the bill outlines specific procedures for reissuing a license after revocation, which includes a $50 fee and the requirement to submit new proof of insurance.
