116TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION H. R. 3435 
To encourage States to allow local governments to implement laws to reduce 
gun violence, and for other purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 24, 2019 
Mr. CLAY (for himself, Ms. KELLY of Illinois, Mrs. DEMINGS, Mr. RUSH, Mr. 
CARSON of Indiana, Ms. SCHAKOWSKY, and Ms. NORTON) introduced the 
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
A BILL 
To encourage States to allow local governments to implement 
laws to reduce gun violence, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Local Public Health 
And Safety Protection Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

unique issues and dangers facing each different com-
munity. 
(2) Most State constitutions generally allocate 
authority to local governments to regulate in the in-
terests of the public health, safety, and welfare. 
States that have removed authority from local gov-
ernments to regulate guns and ammunition have cre-
ated a dangerous exception to the traditional rule of 
local authority. 
(3) Broad State preemption statutes ignore im-
portant local variations that may necessitate distinct 
approaches to the problem of gun violence. State 
preemption statutes threaten public safety because 
they prevent local governments from implementing 
customized solutions to gun violence in their commu-
nities. 
(4) By mandating a one-size-fits-all approach to 
firearms regulation, preemption statutes deprive the 
public of a critical problem-solving resource—local 
innovation. Local governments are often the source 
of cutting-edge laws to reduce gun violence, which 
are proven successful and later adopted at the state-
wide level. 
(5) State preemption statutes impede local gov-
ernment’s ability to fill regulatory gaps created by

veloped, or developed in as timely a man-

novation in the nonprescription drug market;
