This bill would declare that firearm suppressors made and sold entirely within Kentucky are not subject to federal laws or regulations, and it would bar state and local agencies from enforcing federal rules on those suppressors that have no equivalent under Kentucky law. It also sets labeling requirements for Kentucky-made suppressors and creates a process for the Attorney General to investigate and penalize agencies that do not comply, including withholding state grant funds. Who it may affect: Kentucky firearms manufacturers, gun owners, and state and local law enforcement agencies.
