Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, testified last week at a hearing on Michigan SB 305. This bill initially included switchblade ban repeal, which was added at the last minute. However the sponsor has now pulled that from the bill, leaving a narrowly focused pure Knife Law Preemption bill that he believes will have a better chance of passage. We hope to still address the switchblade ban as a separate bill at a later date.
Knife Law Preemption repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere in a state.
If you live, work or travel in Michigan, please contact the committee members and politely ask them to "please vote Report Favorably on SB 305." That's all you need to do, keep it short and to the point.
