Florida Statute 790.33 expressly preempts the entire field of firearm and ammunition regulation to the state, voiding all local ordinances and imposing personal civil penalties on local officials who knowingly enact or enforce conflicting rules.
Section 790.33, Florida Statutes, declares that the Legislature occupies the whole field of firearm and ammunition regulation, including purchase, sale, transfer, taxation, manufacture, ownership, possession, storage, and transportation. Any existing or future county, city, town, or special district ordinance is null and void. Local officials who knowingly and willfully violate the preemption can be removed from office by the Governor, fined up to $5,000 personally without indemnification, and held liable for attorney fees and damages up to $100,000 to a prevailing plaintiff. Only the state, through the Legislature, may regulate firearms.
Knowing violations by local officials trigger personal civil fines up to $5,000, removal from office, and damages up to $100,000 plus attorney fees to prevailing challengers.
