Bill summary
This proposal would change how gun laws are handled in your state. Here is the simple breakdown: * **Only the state decides:** Cities and counties would no longer be allowed to make their own local gun laws. Only the state government would have the power to set those rules. * **Penalties for local governments:** If a city or town tries to pass its own gun laws, they could be punished for it. * **Right to sue:** People would be allowed to take a city to court if that city tries to enforce its own local gun rules. **Current status:** This proposal is currently being debated in the state Senate.
