Florida Supreme Court upholds law penalizing violations of pre-emption statute

Posted by David Hardy · 19 January 2023 11:58 AM

Opinion here. The local officials challenging the law argued that they had some mysterious "immunity" against state law because they were legislators. It doesn't work like that...

A declaratory judgment action by local government officials seeking to eliminate statutory penalties for their intentional violations of the state's preemption of the field of firearms regulation. The preemption occurred in 1987 and the penalties were added in 2011.

I wonder what the local folks want to restrict now that they haven't wanted to restrict for the last 35 years? And which they could have restricted during the first 25 of those years without facing any statutory penalty?

So, the next time a local elected official violates this state law, their defense expenses are on them, not the taxpayer....right?

Because that is the only way to punish them, short of prison
