The bill proposes the creation of a new section, 768.1258, in the Florida Statutes, which outlines limitations on the liability of firearm manufacturers in products liability actions. Specifically, it states that manufacturers cannot be held liable for torts related to the absence or presence of certain features, mechanisms, or standards that are not mandated by federal law. The bill defines several terms, including "authorized user recognition technology," "external manual safety," "loaded chamber indicator," and "magazine disconnect mechanism," which are all features that could potentially be the basis for liability claims.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that while manufacturers are protected from liability regarding the aforementioned features, they can still be held accountable if a claimant can prove that the firearm had an actual manufacturing defect or did not operate according to the manufacturer's express warranties. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
