Currently, the state preempts the entire field of legislation surrounding firearms. Political subdivisions cannot pass any ordinance relating to the sale, purchase, ownership, or possession of firearms, except to regulate the open carrying of firearms. This bill repeals the exception that allows political subdivisions to regulate the open carrying of firearms.
This bill also adds that any violation of this provision will subject the political subdivision to a penalty of $50,000 per occurrence. Any person injured by such a violation will have standing to pursue an action for injunctive relief.
This bill is similar to SB 74 (2025).
