Today, a joint committee of conference issued its final report on H.B. 609, a bill that radically strengthens the firearms preemption law to ensure consistency across the Granite State. This is a critical measure to protect the rights of law-abiding people in New Hampshire and is scheduled for floor votes in both chambers on June 4th. Please take a moment to click the TAKE ACTION button below to contact your representatives in the House and Senate and politely urge them to SUPPORT H.B. 609.
H.B. 609 provides comprehensive reforms to ensure consistency in firearms laws by:
- Expanding state preemption to cover all defensive tools, not just firearms
- Preventing cities, towns, and other political subdivisions from enacting local rules affecting the right to keep and bear arms and creates a clear pathway for people to sue those subdivisions if they violate the state preemption law for both declaratory and injunctive relief and monetary damages, including attorney’s fees.
- Preventing any state agency from enacting internal policies affecting the individual right to keep and bear arms.
- Preventing any state agency from enacting rules affecting these rights unless expressly authorized by statutes passed in the legislature.
- Terminating all existing policies and rules that are not compliant with the new law.
