HB809

Montana HB809 prohibits local governments from enacting red flag gun laws.

Montana HB809 prohibits local governments from enacting, adopting, or implementing any resolution, ordinance, rule, regulation, or policy that would enforce an extreme risk protection order against a resident of the state. These orders, also known as red flag laws, aim to reduce firearm-related death or injury by prohibiting a named individual from having, owning, possessing, or receiving a firearm, or by requiring the surrender of a firearm. The bill also prohibits local governments from accepting grants or funding for these orders.
