A Montgomery County representative prepared a bill to ban possession and sale of handguns after January 1 1973. It allows voluntary retirement of guns before that date with compensation from the State Department of Revenue. Violations after the cutoff would be a felony with up to three years and a $3,000 fine. Law enforcement and other specified exceptions apply. The measure comes with broader budget actions and voting-law changes on the same legislative day.
