An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for limitation on the regulation of firearms and ammunition; and, in general provisions relating to home rule and optional plan government, repealing provisions relating to limitation on municipal powers.

HB 887 prevents Pennsylvania counties and municipalities from regulating the ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or components - except when on property they own, operate, or maintain (like buildings, parks, or vehicles). It repeals a current law (Title 53 § 2962(g)) that banned local governments from creating firearm regulations. The bill directly affects all local governments by limiting their authority to enact firearm-related ordinances. This change takes effect 60 days after enactment.
