Council authorizes drafting of firearms code amendments to comply with state law
Summary
The council authorized the town attorney to prepare ordinances amending several town code sections to conform with state preemption of firearms regulation; the motion passed unanimously.
Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez told the council the town code contains provisions that the state preemption of firearms regulation no longer allows and asked for authorization to draft ordinance amendments. He identified specific town code sections slated for review, saying the amendments are intended to bring the town into compliance with state law.
The council voted to authorize preparation of the ordinances. Benavidez summarized the effect: "We currently prohibit things which the state does not," and said he would prepare the necessary ordinance language for council consideration at a future meeting.
