This bill is all about regulating firearms and firearm parts without serial numbers. It introduces new laws that make it illegal to sell or buy certain firearm parts without proper serial numbers registered with a Federal firearms licensee. If someone sells or transfers these parts without the right serial numbers, it's a felony. Similarly, if someone buys these parts with the intention of making a firearm but without the proper serial numbers, that's also a felony.

HB777

Banning Firearms Without Serial Numbers

This bill says that if you own a place where food is sold, like a restaurant or a store, you have to make sure your staff knows about food allergies. You need to put up posters telling them about allergies and what to do if a customer has one. You also have to tell customers about allergens in the food and ask if they have any allergies. These rules will be enforced by the Department of Agriculture, and they follow guidelines from the FDA.

HB1869

Mandatory Food Allergy Awareness for Businesses

This bill changes the rules about who can get unemployment benefits when there's a work stoppage. Normally, if you quit your job voluntarily, you can't get unemployment benefits.

This bill says that the state should have a database of DNA samples from people convicted of certain serious crimes, like sex offenses and other specified crimes, both adults and juveniles. It also defines what these "other specified offenses" are. The bill says that people convicted of these crimes must provide a DNA sample. It also talks about expunging DNA records in certain cases, like when a juvenile's offense is eligible for expungement. Additionally, it adds a mandatory cost of $250 for anyone convicted, adjudicated delinquent, or granted ARD for certain serious offenses, with the money going to a fund.

Mandated DNA Database

This bill enacts a red flag law (extreme risk protection order) for citizens who pose substantial risk to themselves or others “with a firearm”.

This bill changes the law regarding the sale of firearms in Pennsylvania. Currently, private sales of certain guns don't require a background check if they meet specific criteria, like the length of the barrel or the overall size of the firearm. This bill would remove those exemptions, meaning all private sales would require a background check, just like sales through licensed gun dealers.

HB714

Removing Exemptions from Firearm Backround Checks

This bill allocates more money to the Department of Education and creates a program called the Grow-Your-Own Educators Grant Program. This program helps schools and colleges work together to train new teachers and support staff.

The grants will be distributed fairly across the state, and some money will also go to another grant program called the Talent Recruitment Grant Program.
