Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 45-9-51, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Prohibit State Agencies From Restricting The Possession Of Firearms; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi's existing law to prohibit state agencies from creating any restrictions on the possession, carrying, transportation, sale, transfer, or ownership of firearms, ammunition, or their components. The bill allows citizens adversely affected by a state agency's violation of this prohibition to file suit for declarative and injunctive relief, with the potential for the agency to incur civil liability. However, the bill does not apply to regulations by state law enforcement agencies, the Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, or certain state agencies listed in the state constitution.
