Prohibit local governments from enacting red flag gun laws

HB 809 prohibits local governments in Montana from enacting, adopting, or enforcing any "extreme risk protection order," also known as a red flag gun law. It prevents local authorities from creating policies that would enforce such orders against residents or from receiving funds related to their implementation. A local government violating this law could face a civil penalty of up to $10,000. This bill directly affects Montana's local governments and residents by limiting local control over firearm regulations concerning extreme risk protection orders.
