Bill Summary
AI Summary
This bill allows individuals with a license to carry a concealed handgun to bring their handguns onto the campuses of public and private institutions of higher education in Texas, with the exception that these institutions can establish rules for storing handguns in dormitories or other residential buildings. It also clarifies that institutions of higher education and their employees are protected from liability for damages caused by license holders' actions, unless those actions are capricious or arbitrary. Furthermore, the bill amends existing law to permit licensed individuals to carry concealed handguns on school premises, including institutions of higher education, unless specific written regulations or authorizations prohibit it, and it also makes an exception for collegiate sporting events where proper notice has not been given.
