Protection of lawful commerce in firearms.

SF 116 (Wyoming) protects firearm manufacturers, sellers, and trade associations from most civil lawsuits related to their products. The bill grants immunity from liability in "qualified civil liability actions" (claims about criminal misuse of firearms), unless specific exceptions apply. Key exceptions include cases involving criminal convictions for illegal transfers, negligent sales, knowing violations of firearm laws, product defects causing injury when used as intended, or gross negligence. It directly affects manufacturers, sellers, and trade associations by limiting their civil liability for firearm-related incidents. The law takes effect July 1, 2023.
