Summary

The Jackson County Legislature introduced a proposal to repeal and replace sections of the county code related to firearm possession and age restrictions (sections 5577 and 5578). The measure was referred to committee and is being held.

The Jackson County Legislature introduced an ordinance to repeal section 5-5-7-7 of the Jackson County Code (title 19, chapter 84) relating to possession of firearms and age restrictions and to enact two replacement sections, 5-5-7-7 and 5-5-7-8, on the same subject. The item was presented to the legislature and referred to committee.

A committee report in the meeting record says the committee is holding the measure (committee holding number 5967). No public testimony or debate on substantive changes was recorded during the June 2 session, and the legislature took no final action.

The ordinance was introduced by the legislature as a whole; the transcript does not include detailed text of the proposed replacement provisions. The committee referral means the proposal will return for further committee consideration before any final reading or vote.
