Semiautomatic Rifle Ban Bill Filed

 

It's finally here, the much-anticipated semiautomatic rife and magazine ban bill has been filed for the 2024 legislative session. HB137, which is modeled after United States Senator Heinrichs's failed federal legislation, was filed today. The bill would ban the sale and transfer gas-operated semiautomatic rifles and "large capacity" magazines. The bill is one the of governor's priorities this session and has already been sent to the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee. We will notify you when it is scheduled for a hearing.Two more bills we expected were officially filed today as well. SB90 would impose an 11% excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition. SB69 is the senate version of a 14 business day waiting period for firearm sales.With less than 30 days to go, these bills will move quickly.
