The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5051, seeks to amend chapter 98 of the general statutes to explicitly prohibit municipalities from enacting any ordinances that regulate firearms. This legislative change aims to preempt local governments from establishing their own firearm regulations, thereby centralizing the authority over firearm laws at the state level.

The bill introduces new legal language that states municipalities cannot adopt any ordinances related to the regulation of firearms, effectively removing any existing local regulations. This move is intended to create uniformity in firearm laws across the state and prevent a patchwork of differing municipal regulations.
