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. It introduces new legal language that specifically permits local governments to adopt and enforce regulations regarding firearms transactions within their properties, while maintaining existing prohibitions on other forms of regulation related to firearms and ammunition, such as fees, licenses, or permits.
Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 12-16,124, which previously restricted local governments from enacting any ordinances or regulations concerning firearms and ammunition. The amendments clarify that while local governments retain certain regulatory powers, they must still comply with state laws regarding personnel policies and law enforcement duties. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
