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 home rule and optional plan government, repealing provisions relating to limitation on municipal powers.

This bill (SB 489) prohibits Pennsylvania counties, cities, townships, and other local governments from regulating the lawful ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or components - except when on property they own or operate (like buildings, parks, or vehicles). It repeals a prior law that barred municipalities from enacting firearm regulations. The key change is a statewide limit on local firearm rules, overriding existing municipal ordinances. This directly affects all Pennsylvania local governments and their ability to create firearm-related regulations. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
