What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law preempts a political subdivision from regulating the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, keeping, possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting, registration, or taxation of any firearm, firearm part, ammunition, or knife in a manner that is more stringent than under state statute. This bill eliminates the preemption so that a political subdivision may regulate such activity in a manner that is more stringent than under state statute.
