SB 270 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT RECOGNIZING THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AS THE AUTHORITY THAT DETERMINES ELIGIBILITY FOR RESIDENTS TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.

SB 270 (2025) is a procedural bill that would amend state statutes to explicitly state that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, not state law, determines eligibility for residents to keep and bear arms. It does not change current gun ownership rules or create new requirements; it only directs state statutes to recognize the federal Second Amendment as the governing authority for firearm eligibility. The bill affects how state laws reference constitutional authority but does not alter who may legally own firearms. This is a declarative measure focused on statutory alignment, not substantive policy change.
