Plain-English Summary

The proposal would encourage the development and use of gun safety technologies, such as devices that prevent unauthorized users from firing a weapon, by providing research funding and potentially offering liability protections to manufacturers who include these features. Gun owners, manufacturers, law enforcement agencies, and public safety officials would be affected by these changes, which aim to reduce accidental shootings and injuries. The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.
