Bill Summary
To repeal section 9.68 of the Revised Code to restore local authority to generally regulate firearms-related conduct.
AI Summary
This bill repeals Section 9.68 of the Ohio Revised Code, which would restore the authority of local governments to generally regulate firearm-related conduct. The current Section 9.68 preempts local regulation of firearms, prohibiting municipalities and other local jurisdictions from enacting any laws regarding the ownership, possession, purchase, other transfer, taxation, manufacture, or transportation of firearms, their components, and their ammunition. By repealing this section, the bill aims to give local authorities the power to regulate firearms within their jurisdictions, providing them more flexibility in addressing firearm-related issues at the community level.
