Explicitly states that nothing prevents localities from enacting more restrictive laws on the number of firearms that may be purchased in a certain period, allowing local rules that are stricter than the state limit.
Nothing in this act shall prevent localities across the state from enacting more restrictive laws regarding how many firearms may be purchased within a certain period of time.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new crime limiting purchases to one firearm per 30 days from dealers, adds dealer approval and reporting duties to the state criminal justice division for every sale, and allows stricter local laws; all provisions directly address firearms access and regulation with no substantive provisions on transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
