The bill amends K.S.A. 12-16,124 to allow cities and counties in Kansas to regulate the sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition within buildings owned by those municipalities. Specifically, it introduces new legal language that permits local governments to adopt and enforce ordinances, resolutions, or regulations concerning the sale or purchase of firearms or ammunition within their owned properties. This change is significant as it provides local authorities with more control over firearm transactions in specific locations.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 12-16,124, which previously restricted cities and counties from adopting any regulations related to the commerce in firearms and ammunition. The bill maintains certain exceptions, such as allowing local governments to enforce personnel policies regarding firearms carried by their employees and to levy sales taxes on firearm sales. Overall, this legislation aims to clarify and expand the regulatory powers of local governments concerning firearms within their jurisdiction.
