HB316

Kentucky HB316 allows local governments to regulate firearms while protecting peer support communications.

Kentucky HB316 modifies local firearms control ordinances, allowing cities, counties, and other local governments to enact regulations on firearms. It also establishes confidentiality for peer support communications between public safety employees and peer support specialists, except in cases of explicit threats, criminal conduct, or required legal disclosures. This confidentiality extends to disciplinary, civil, and criminal proceedings. The bill exempts certain areas, like public housing and private dwellings, from local firearms restrictions.
