Bill > HB2115

This bill amends the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act to allow municipalities to prohibit their employees from carrying concealed handguns in municipal buildings under specific conditions. Municipalities can implement this prohibition by adopting a resolution or drafting a letter that includes a security plan demonstrating adequate security measures to protect building occupants. The security plan must be filed with the Kansas Attorney General and local law enforcement, though the plan itself remains confidential. Notably, the prohibition only applies to employees and requires the building to have robust security measures, such as metal detectors or armed personnel at entrances. The bill includes provisions specifying that the authorization to prohibit employee concealed carry will expire on July 1, 2030, unless the legislature reviews and reenacts the provision. This legislation provides municipalities with more discretion in managing firearm policies within their buildings while maintaining specific requirements for implementing such restrictions, balancing local control with security considerations.
