The Indiana House Committee on Local Government is expected to take up Senate Bill 176 in the near future. This legislation would expand firearm preemption protections to include firearm related businesses and shooting ranges. Please use the TAKE ACTION button below to contact members of the House Local Government Committee and urge them to SUPPORT SB 176.
Senate Bill 176 strengthens the existing firearm preemption statute to include protections for shooting ranges by prohibiting local governments from adopting zoning, land-use, or permitting requirements that are more restrictive than state law.
Specifically, SB 176 prevents counties, cities, and towns from using planning and zoning powers to effectively restrict or prohibit the establishment, use, or maintenance of shooting ranges through excessive or discriminatory regulations.
