Summary of Bill HRES 244

Bill 118 HRES 244, also known as the Expressing the Sense of the House of Representatives resolution, addresses the issue of mandates imposed on manufacturers requiring the inclusion of unproven and unreliable technology in firearms. The resolution argues that these mandates are costly and punitive, and that the prohibition of firearms without such features infringes on the rights of citizens under the Second Amendment.

The resolution highlights concerns about the effectiveness and reliability of the technology being mandated for inclusion in firearms. It argues that these mandates place unnecessary financial burdens on manufacturers and ultimately on consumers, without providing clear evidence that the technology will effectively enhance public safety.

Furthermore, the resolution asserts that prohibiting firearms without these mandated features infringes on the Second Amendment rights of citizens.

Overall, Bill 118 HRES 244 aims to express the House of Representatives' opposition to mandates that require the inclusion of unproven and unreliable technology in firearms, and to affirm the importance of protecting the Second Amendment rights of citizens.
