Relating to: repealing an administrative rule of the Department of Natural Resources related to the possession of firearms.
AB 16 repeals a specific state rule (NR 20.05(2)) in the Department of Natural Resources' administrative code that governed firearm possession. This change directly affects individuals subject to that rule, removing a regulatory requirement related to firearm ownership or handling. The bill's sole mechanism is the formal removal of the rule from the state code, with no new provisions or requirements added. The rule's repeal would eliminate the specific administrative guidance it provided, though the bill does not alter broader firearm laws. The measure is currently under review by the Assembly Environment Committee.
