SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Firearms ordinances; applicability to property located in multiple localities. Allows a landowner whose property, including multiple contiguous parcels, spans two or more localities to elect to have the firearms ordinances of the locality in which the largest portion of the contiguous parcel lies apply to anyone hunting on the property. The bill requires any landowner making such an election to notify the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The measure will become effective if reenacted by the 2020 Session of the General Assembly. The measure also directs the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries study issues related to the application of inconsistent local firearm ordinances to properties located in more than one locality and report its findings to the Chairmen of the House Committee on Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources by the first day of the 2020 Regular Session.
