Bill > HB1454

This bill revises various laws in Georgia concerning firearms and weapons, primarily by prohibiting the creation or maintenance of databases of individuals who have applied for or received weapons carry licenses, and also prohibiting lists or registries of privately owned firearms or their owners, with individuals harmed by such violations able to sue for damages and legal fees. It also modifies regulations on the discharge of firearms, preventing municipalities, counties, or consolidated governments from prohibiting their discharge on parcels of five acres or more if the owner consents, though zoning ordinances for commercial shooting ranges are still permitted. Additionally, the bill updates procedures for the disposition of unclaimed firearms held by law enforcement, requiring municipalities and other government entities to sell them to licensed dealers or collectors at least annually, and allowing individuals to sue for damages and legal fees if these entities fail to comply with the disposal requirements.
