AN ACT PROHIBITING THE REGULATION OF FIREARMS BY MUNICIPALITIES.

HB 5051 prohibits municipalities from creating their own firearm regulations by amending Chapter 98 of the general statutes. It directly affects cities and towns, preventing them from passing local ordinances related to firearms. The key mechanism is a statewide prohibition that overrides any existing or future municipal rules on firearm regulation. The bill's purpose is to establish uniform firearm laws across the state, removing local authority over this issue.
