✓ Quote verified word for word in the bill text
Status: Failed
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's core provision repeals the statewide preemption of local firearm and ammunition regulation (s. 790.33), which had prevented localities from imposing restrictions and thereby expanded the ability to own and carry firearms by creating uniform statewide rules that overrode stricter local ordinances. Removing preemption allows local jurisdictions to enact new restrictions, which restricts the firearms axis. The conforming amendment to s. 790.251 simply updates cross-references after repeal and has no independent substantive effect on the axis.
