Committee requests law director review city firearms ordinances for compliance with state permitless-carry law
Summary
A committee member asked the Law and Ordinance Committee to request the law director review existing city firearms ordinances to identify outdated language and recommend revisions to align with state permitless-carry law; the committee agreed informally.
A member of the Law and Ordinance Committee asked the committee to request that the city law director review existing municipal ordinances related to firearms to identify any language that may be inconsistent with recent changes in state law regarding permitless carry.
The committee member said the request was prompted by feedback from a council candidate, Mr. Ryan Smith, who suggested some local ordinances might not reflect the current state legal framework. The committee member asked the law director to identify outdated language and recommend revisions so local code would conform to state law on permitless carry.
Committee members responded positively in the meeting and did not record a formal roll-call vote; one participant said, "Sounds good." The request was recorded as committee direction to the law director to undertake a code review. The committee did not adopt any ordinance changes at this meeting; any changes would require drafting by the law director and subsequent council action.
