Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
42 added · 70 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of Bill SB 636 includes a new provision that prohibits the use of public money for any efforts aimed at opposing Second Amendment rights. This means that state entities and political subdivisions cannot spend funds on publicity or propaganda that seeks to undermine gun rights. This change is significant as it aims to ensure that public resources are not used to promote agendas that go against the Constitution, which some lawmakers believe protects the rights of citizens to bear arms.
