SB1359

Arizona SB1359 restricts local ordinances on firearms, preempting local laws stricter than state law.

Arizona SB1359 amends state statutes to limit local governments' ability to enact ordinances on firearms that are stricter than state law. The bill prohibits local governments from enacting any rule or ordinance that relates to firearms and is more prohibitive than or has a penalty greater than any state law penalty. Local rules or ordinances inconsistent with or more restrictive than state law are null and void. The bill also restricts local governments from enacting ordinances limiting the lawful taking of wildlife during open seasons unless consistent with state law.
