Status: Failed
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's core provision repeals s. 790.33, which had exclusively reserved firearms and ammunition regulation to the state legislature and barred local ordinances; removing this preemption allows local governments to impose additional restrictions on firearms, which restricts the overall axis of firearm access and ownership. The conforming amendment to s. 790.251 is technical and produces no independent change in firearm rights or restrictions.
