The proposed bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to prohibit the purchase, sale, offer for sale, or possession with intent to sell covered animal parts or products. The new section, designated as 2168, outlines that individuals cannot engage in these activities unless exceptions apply, such as for government employees conducting law enforcement activities, activities authorized by federal law, or when the covered animal part is part of an antique or a musical instrument under specific conditions. The bill also establishes a presumption of intent to sell when such items are found in retail or wholesale establishments.

Additionally, the bill imposes civil penalties for violations, which vary based on the value of the covered animal part or product involved. For a first violation with a value not exceeding $250, the penalty can be up to $5,000, while for higher values, it can reach $10,000. Subsequent violations carry even steeper penalties. The bill also grants the commission the authority to seize covered animal parts involved in violations and outlines potential dispositions for these items. The act is set to take effect six months after its passage.
