Passage; May 22, 2019; Journal Page 2498; 21 Yeas, 10 Nays.

YCT Yea. HB 3231 protects the Second Amendment rights of Texans by modernizing firearms preemption statutes to include protection of possessing, carrying, or storing firearms and ammunition across the state. It also provides legal remedies for law-abiding citizens who have been negatively affected by certain preemption statutes in municipalities. The promotion and protection of Second Amendment rights is a key tenant of YCT, and HB 3231 promotes these rights.
