Bill > HB1214

This bill modifies provisions relating to carrying firearms on public transit systems, primarily by amending existing statutes to clarify and expand the rights of individuals with concealed carry permits. The key provision adds a new subsection to the concealed carry law stipulating that a person with a valid concealed carry permit cannot be prohibited from accessing or using publicly funded transportation systems, nor can they be harassed or detained for carrying a concealed firearm on such systems' property, vehicles, or conveyances. The bill defines "publicly funded transportation system" broadly as any property or entity that receives public funds and provides transportation services to the general public, with some specific exclusions like intercity passenger train services. The changes aim to ensure that individuals with legal concealed carry permits can use public transit without facing barriers or discrimination based on their legally carried firearm. The bill also makes some technical corrections to existing language in related statutes about weapon possession on public transit and makes conforming amendments to ensure consistency across different sections of law.
