Explanation of Bill
The bill, known as the Second Amendment Preservation Act, aims to add additional protections to the right to bear arms. It proposes several amendments to the Revised Code, including definitions of various terms related to firearms. It prohibits public offices, officers, and employees from enforcing or participating in the enforcement of any federal laws or regulations regarding firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition. It also prohibits providing material aid or support to federal officials in enforcing such laws. The bill creates penalties for violations of these provisions, holds the state and political subdivisions liable for certain actions of law enforcement officers, permits actions for injunctive relief by individuals affected by these provisions, and asserts the authority of the state legislature to regulate firearms within the state. The bill repeals existing sections of the Revised Code and replaces them with the new provisions outlined in the bill.
