Ref To Com On Rules and Operations of the Senate
Summary
The bill rewrites the state constitutional provision on the right to bear arms, giving any person who has not been indicted or convicted of a violent crime or felony drug offense and who is not adjudicated mentally incompetent the right to carry any legal weapon for self‑defense, openly or concealed, without needing a permit. A permit system would remain only for reciprocity with other states and for purchasing firearms. Voters will decide the amendment in a statewide referendum in November 2026.
