Bill > SB1159

This bill amends the Michigan Penal Code to prohibit the possession of firearms in the Michigan State Capitol Building, in addition to previously prohibited locations such as churches, theaters, and establishments licensed under the Michigan Liquor Control Code. The bill provides exceptions for security personnel, law enforcement, and individuals licensed to carry concealed weapons. Violating this provision would result in a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in prison or a fine of up to $100. The bill is tie-barred with Senate Bill 1158, meaning it will not take effect unless that bill is also enacted into law.
