Bill Summary

Modifies provisions relating to the carrying of firearms on public transit systems

AI Summary

This bill modifies provisions relating to carrying firearms on public transit systems, primarily by updating sections of Missouri law regarding concealed carry permits and restrictions. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to section 571.107 that prevents public transportation systems from prohibiting or impeding individuals with valid concealed carry permits from accessing or using publicly funded transportation. The bill defines a "publicly funded transportation system" as property or vehicles of an entity receiving public funds and providing transportation services to the general public, with some specific exclusions like intercity passenger train services. Under this new provision, individuals with concealed carry permits cannot be harassed, detained, or prevented from using public transit solely because they are carrying a concealed firearm. The bill also makes some minor technical corrections to existing language, such as fixing spelling errors and clarifying existing provisions about weapons on buses and in transportation facilities. These changes aim to ensure that individuals with legal concealed carry permits have consistent rights to use public transportation while maintaining overall safety protocols.
