SAGA Act

This bill, the SAGA Act (HR 373), prevents states and local governments from imposing stricter regulations than federal law on rifles and shotguns that move across state lines. It prohibits state or local laws requiring more restrictive rules, registration, licensing, taxes, or fees for rifles, shotguns, or their parts (including detachable magazines, pistol grips, and stocks) than federal standards. The bill also requires courts to award attorney fees to successful plaintiffs in lawsuits challenging violations of these provisions. This directly affects state and local governments, gun manufacturers, and retailers by limiting their regulatory authority over certain firearms.
