An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, providing for gun violence task forces.

SB 1056 would create regional gun violence task forces within Pennsylvania, requiring local law enforcement agencies to collaborate with community organizations to address firearm-related crimes. The bill amends Title 18 of Pennsylvania's laws to establish these task forces, focusing on preventing and investigating gun violence in high-risk areas. It directly affects law enforcement agencies, community groups, and residents in communities experiencing elevated firearm crime. The key mechanism involves mandating task force formation and coordination to develop localized prevention strategies and improve data sharing. The bill is currently referred to the Judiciary Committee for further consideration.
