What changed in the latest version
7 added · 8 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to Senate Bill 1189 include the addition of references to "political subdivisions" and "gun shows," while the introductory information has been removed. This shift emphasizes the bill's focus on how local governments handle regulations related to gun shows, clarifying that certain local rules may be overridden or preempted by state law. This matters because it could impact the ability of cities and counties to enforce their own gun regulations, potentially leading to a more uniform approach across the state.
