WEAPONS: Provides for the preemption of state law for firearms. (8/1/24)
SB 194 is a technical amendment bill that modifies the citation of a specific state law regarding firearms preemption. The bill changes the text of the law to remove the "(A)" designation from the reference to R.S. 40:1796. This adjustment does not alter the underlying policy or the people it affects, as it only updates how the law is referenced in the statutes. The legislation is currently in the legislative process and has been reviewed by the Senate Judiciary committees.
