AI Summary
This bill establishes restrictions on the possession of weapons in certain locations. It amends existing laws (RCW 9.41.280 and 9.41.305) to prohibit the knowing possession of firearms, dangerous weapons, and other devices in public or private elementary/secondary schools, areas used for school district board meetings, the state capitol grounds, and locations used for public meetings or hearings by local government bodies. The bill also adds a new section prohibiting the possession of these items in ballot counting centers, voting centers, student engagement hubs, and county elections offices. Certain exceptions are provided for law enforcement, military personnel, and individuals with concealed carry licenses. Violations are generally punishable as misdemeanors, with mandatory concealed pistol license revocations for firearm violations.
