 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 867

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. BAILEY, COMRIE -- read twice and ordered printed,
 and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the general obligations law, in relation to providing
 for compensation for injury or death caused by the negligent entrust-
 ment of a firearm

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The federal Protection of Lawful
 2 Commerce in Arms Act, 109 P.L. 92, 119 Stat. 2095, bars almost all civil
 3 actions or proceedings against manufacturers and sellers of firearms,
 4 but it provides an exemption for actions brought for negligent entrust-
 5 ment. Negligent entrustment under the act means the supplying of a
 6 firearm by a seller for use by another person when the seller knows, or
 7 reasonably should know, the person to whom the product is supplied is
 8 likely to, and does, use the product in a manner involving unreasonable
 9 risk of physical injury to the person or others. It is the intent of the
 10 legislature to extend the negligent entrustment liability of firearm
 11 manufacturers and sellers to the maximum extent allowable under federal
 12 law.
 13 § 2. The general obligations law is amended by adding a new section
 14 11-108 to read as follows:
 15 § 11-108. Compensation for injury or death caused by the negligent
 16 entrustment of a firearm. 1. Any person who is injured in person, prop-
 17 erty, means of support, or otherwise by the use of a firearm shall have
 18 a right of action against any person or entity who caused or contributed
 19 to the injury through the negligent entrustment of a firearm. In any
 20 such action, the injured person shall have a right to recover actual and
 21 punitive damages.
 22 2. In case of the death of the person injured, the action or right of
 23 action given by this action shall survive to their executor or adminis-

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 trator, and the amount so recovered by either a spouse or child shall be
 2 their sole and separate property.
 3 3. Actions as described in subdivision one or two of this section may
 4 be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
 5 4. In any case where parents shall be entitled to such damages, either
 6 parent may sue alone therefor, but recovery by one of such parties shall
 7 be a bar to suit brought by the other.
 8 5. As used in this section, "negligent entrustment" means the supply-
 9 ing of a firearm by a seller for use by another person when the seller
 10 knows, or reasonably should know, the person to whom the product is
 11 supplied is likely to, and does, use the product in a manner involving
 12 unreasonable risk of physical injury to the person or others.
 13 6. For the purposes of this section, the distribution of an automatic
 14 or semi-automatic firearm not typically used for lawful hunting
 15 purposes, including but not limited to handguns and assault weapons, to
 16 the public, including those with a permit to possess a firearm, involves
 17 an unreasonable risk of physical injury to others.
 18 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all
 19 claims arising on or after such effective date and to all claims pending
 20 on such effective date.
