The SAGA Act would amend federal law to limit state and local rules on rifles and shotguns. For firearms or related conduct affecting interstate or foreign commerce, states and localities could not impose rules, licensing or registration requirements, penalties, taxes, fees, or charges that are more restrictive or costly than federal law allows. Conflicting state or local laws would have no force or effect. A person who wins a case over a violation could receive reasonable attorney's fees. The bill was introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
If enacted, the proposal could limit state and local rules and charges related to covered rifles, shotguns, parts, detachable magazines, ammunition feeding devices, and certain grips or stocks. The bill is not law based on the information provided.
The bill does not provide a cost estimate. It would require a court to award reasonable attorney's fees to a prevailing plaintiff in a case alleging a violation.
