DeSantis Signs Bill That Bans Local Gun Regulations | The Daily Caller

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday that further banned local governments from imposing gun restrictions.
The bill, SB 1884, will expand an earlier law that can force local governments to pay up to $100,000 in damages if they are sued for imposing gun regulations. The bill is set to take effect July 1.
The legislation was passed by the Republican-controlled legislature in April. Florida has banned local governments from passing regulations that are stricter than state laws regarding firearms since 1987. The law was strengthened in 2011 and the First District Court of Appeal upheld the law in April, reversing an earlier court’s ruling.
