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

SB 43 amends Pennsylvania's firearms laws by adding a clear definition for "frame or receiver" in Title 18. This definition covers both completed firearm parts housing critical components (like the hammer or firing pin) and partially manufactured parts intended to become such components. The bill directly affects firearm manufacturers, sellers, and law enforcement by clarifying what constitutes a firearm part under state law. It does not change existing restrictions but provides specific terminology for enforcement and legal interpretation.
