This 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. The existing law prohibits local governments from adopting or enforcing any regulations regarding fees, licenses, or permits related to firearms and ammunition. However, the new language specifically permits localities to create regulations concerning the sale or purchase of firearms and ammunition within their own properties, thereby providing them with more authority in this area.
Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 12-16,124, which further clarifies the changes being made. The amendments also maintain certain prohibitions, such as preventing local governments from regulating the commerce of firearms and ammunition outside of their owned buildings. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
