=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Preserves local authority to enact ordinances prohibiting discharge of firearms, so no change to state preemption of local gun rules.
Subsection (a) does not affect the authority of a county or municipality under other law to enact an order or ordinance which prohibits the discharge of a firearm.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Penal Code to broaden the state criminal prohibition on reckless discharge of a firearm to more municipalities and counties by lowering the population thresholds that trigger the offense. This is a change to criminal law on using firearms and is therefore tagged under firearms/other with a restricts direction. The savings clause for local ordinances is unchanged from prior law and produces a neutral effect on preemption.
