Hudson council approves ordinance banning concealed handguns in city buildings
Summary
Council passed ordinance 26-13 on third reading to prohibit carrying a concealed handgun in city buildings by a 5'to'1 vote during the Feb. 17 meeting.
Hudson City Council voted 5'to'1 on Feb. 17 to pass ordinance 26-13, which amends the codified ordinances to prohibit carrying a concealed handgun inside city-owned buildings.
Councilor Gaetz moved to pass the ordinance on third reading and Councilor Duramo seconded the motion. With no discussion recorded on the floor, the clerk conducted a roll-call vote that resulted in five yes votes and one no vote. The ordinance was approved and will be codified per normal process.
The council did not make further policy statements or cite specific enforcement protocols during the public meeting; the ordinance text was the vehicle for the change.
What happens next: the legislation will be updated in the city's codified ordinances and the city will implement administrative steps required by the ordinance text.
