House Subcommittee to Hear Legislation to STOP Governments Across Florida from Violat
 

House Bill 45, introduced by state Representative Matt Gaetz (R-4) has ALSO been scheduled to be heard in the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee on Tuesday, February 8 at 9:00 a.m. HB 45 would simply provide penalties for government officials, local governments and agencies that willfully and knowingly violate the state firearms preemption law. State law prohibits local governments and government agencies from adopting any gun control ordinances or regulations. There are some who are arrogantly violating the law because there are no penalties currently in the law. HB 45 is a bill to STOP local politicians and governments from violating state law by providing penalties for willful violations.

The only problem I see is the taxpayers may be footing the bill for some of the fines. The government entity may be fined, as well as the individuals responsable. What they should do is have fines and actual jail time for the individuals involved and leave the tax money out of it.
