AI Summary
This bill aims to restore the authority of local governments in Washington state to regulate firearms within their jurisdictions. It removes the statewide preemption of local firearm regulations, allowing cities, municipalities, and counties to adopt ordinances and regulations on firearms that are more restrictive than state requirements. The bill also clarifies restrictions on where firearms can be possessed, such as in public mental health facilities and commercial airports. Additionally, it repeals the state preemption law that had previously prohibited local governments from regulating firearms.
