New York Considers Range Protection Bill The New York Assembly’s Health Committee was set today to consider A 6608A, which would protect existing shooting ranges from new noise ordinances and nuisance lawsuits aimed at shutting them down. The bill would mandate that ranges comply with noise ordinances in place at the time of construction of the range. The state Senate’s companion bill, S 3353A, may be voted on at any time. New Yorkers are encouraged to contact their legislators – (518) 455-2800 for the Senate; (518) 455-2800 for the Assembly – and urge their support of these bills.
