HB 204
AN ACT relating to concealed deadly weapons.
In Plain Language
This bill removes restrictions that currently allow colleges, local governments, and state agencies to ban concealed weapons in their buildings. It also removes the ban on carrying concealed weapons in schools and changes the airport weapons ban to apply only to TSA-controlled areas. People with concealed carry licenses would be allowed to bring weapons into schools.
