The bill amends the existing law that restricts local governments from imposing certain regulations on firearms and pneumatic guns. It clarifies that local units of government are allowed to regulate specific conduct related to firearms that constitutes a criminal offense under state law. Additionally, it permits local governments to regulate the transportation and possession of firearms by their employees during the course of their employment. The bill also establishes guidelines for the supervision of individuals under 16 years of age who possess pneumatic guns, ensuring they are accompanied by a parent, guardian, or an adult, while also allowing for exceptions on private property with proper authorization.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions that prohibit individuals from displaying pneumatic guns in a threatening manner and allows local governments to regulate the open carry of firearms within government buildings, with the exception of law enforcement officers. This amendment aims to balance the rights of firearm owners with the need for public safety and local governance.
