The bill, introduced in the 136th General Assembly, seeks to repeal section 9.68 of the Revised Code. This repeal aims to restore local authority for municipalities to regulate conduct related to firearms and knives, which may have been previously restricted under the existing law.
By removing this section, the bill allows local governments to implement their own regulations concerning firearms and knives, potentially leading to a more tailored approach to public safety and community needs. This legislative change reflects a shift towards empowering local jurisdictions in managing issues related to weapons within their respective areas.
