Since 1987, Florida has barred municipalities from passing regulations that are stricter than state firearms laws. Penalties in the 2011 law were designed to strengthen that “preemption.”
Pointing to “far-reaching, statewide implications,” local governments want the Florida Supreme Court to rule in a case about a 2011 state law that threatens tough penalties if city and county officials approve gun-related regulations.
Attorneys for the local governments filed a motion Friday requesting that the 1st District Court of Appeal send to the Supreme Court key issues in the case - a move known as certifying “questions of great public importance.”
The motion, filed Friday, came two weeks after a panel of the Tallahassee-based appeals court upheld the constitutionality of the 2011 law, which was challenged by 30 cities, three counties and more than 70 local officials.
