FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - Kentucky is one step closer to being a so-called “Second Amendment sanctuary state.”
Wednesday afternoon, the House passed House Bill 153.
It would prohibit Kentucky from enforcing a federal ban or regulation on firearms.
HB 153 passed the House with a vote of 78 to 19.
The bill now goes to the Senate.
HB 153 is essentially a second try for lawmakers. In 2022, the bill passed through the House but never made it out of a Senate committee.
