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 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 musical instrument that meets specific criteria. The bill also outlines a presumption of intent to sell when such items are found in retail or wholesale establishments, and it allows for the commission to permit certain educational or scientific uses of covered animal parts.

Penalties for violations of this prohibition are specified, with civil penalties ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 depending on the value of the covered animal part or product and the number of prior violations. The bill also grants the commission the authority to seize and dispose of covered animal parts involved in violations, either for educational purposes, donation, or destruction. The act is set to take effect six months after its passage.
