Are there any plans to introduce a bill this upcoming term creating penalty’s for municipality’s violating state preemption laws?
Probably yes. I've already written the bill and it is in the hands of a sponsor. It creates an offense for posting unenforceable signs and does several other things no elected official or government employee will like. :biggrinjester:

I don't know if anyone has been prosecuted under Florida's new law, because unenforceable signs started coming down in batches when the law passed! I doubt there's anyone to prosecute.

Most excellent, Mr. Cotton, thank you very much. :thumbs2: :txflag:

Please let us know when to start calling and writing our congress critters to make sure they support the bill.

Withhold state funds to any government entity who does not follow state preemption laws. If that doesn't work then work on a more severe punishment.

Also would be nice to hold Police Chiefs, Sheriffs and Constables accountable to this as well, if the only basis for an arrest is because a city or any other government entity posts such signs, when it's known that a CHL holder is legally allowed to be there.

I am totally in favor of law enforcement, but I am also in favor of clear cut laws. People shouldn't have to spend their money hiring a lawyer to defend them when the state law is clear on an issue.
