Bill Summary

Relative to the state's authority to prohibit or regulate firearms and relative to the selectmen's authority to manage town property.

AI Summary

This bill aims to clarify the state's exclusive authority over the regulation of firearms, ammunition, and knives in New Hampshire. It repeals and reenacts RSA 159:26 to explicitly state that the state legislature has exclusive jurisdiction over these matters, and prohibits any local ordinances or regulations that impinge on this authority. The bill also imposes penalties on any public entities that violate this law, including potential fines and liability for actual damages. Additionally, the bill amends RSA 41:11-a to include RSA 159:26 as one of the statutes that governs the selectmen's authority to manage town property.
