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. It establishes a clear definition of what constitutes a "covered animal" and "covered animal part or product," which includes various endangered species and their derivatives. The bill outlines specific exceptions to this prohibition, such as activities conducted by government agents for law enforcement, items that are part of antiques or musical instruments under certain conditions, and instances where permits are granted for educational or scientific purposes.

Additionally, the bill introduces civil penalties for violations, which vary based on the value of the covered animal part or product involved. For first violations, penalties can reach up to $10,000 depending on the item's value, while subsequent violations can incur even higher fines. The bill also allows for the seizure and appropriate disposition of covered animal parts involved in violations, including potential donation to educational institutions or destruction. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is tasked with promulgating necessary regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this new law.
