What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
