Recently, the Senate Transportation, Infrastructure, and Public Safety Committee advanced two pro-gun bills; Senate Bill 74, which provides statewide preemption protections for open carry, and Senate Bill 77, which allows for concealed carry on public transportation. These bills are now eligible for a vote on the Senate floor.
Please contact your Senator today and urge them to SUPPORT SB 74 and SB 77!
Senate Bill 74 repeals the exception for localities to regulate open carry, and creates fines for localities that violate statewide preemption laws.
Senate Bill 77 repeals the current prohibition of lawful concealed carry on public transportation, including buses and bus terminals. This will allow for lawful concealed carry permit holders to have access to their firearms while riding or waiting at a station for public transportation.
Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for future updates as the session progresses.
