Elridge signs Expedited Bill 2326 to align county code with court ruling; vows to preserve safety zones, limit ghost-gun transfers to minors
Summary
County Executive Mark Elridge signed expedited Bill 2326 to bring local code into compliance with a Maryland court ruling, saying the change maintains 100-yard safety zones around schools, parks, libraries and places of worship and continues prohibitions on transferring unserialized firearms to minors.
County Executive Mark Elridge said he signed Expedited Bill 2326 into law to update the county code after a Maryland Supreme Court clarification of counties' regulatory limits. He said the update "brings our local code into compliance with that ruling" while retaining enforceable safety restrictions.
Elridge emphasized the county will preserve every restriction it remains legally authorized to enforce, specifically maintaining 100-yard safety zones around schools, parks, libraries and places of worship. He also said county rules continue to prohibit transferring ghost guns without serial numbers to minors and require adults to secure firearms so children cannot reach them.
