Bill > SB0594

This bill amends the Michigan State Capitol Historic Site Act to allow individuals with valid concealed pistol licenses from Michigan or other states to carry concealed firearms within the state capitol building. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection that requires the capitol commission to permit licensed individuals to bring concealed pistols into the building. If requested, these individuals must show their concealed pistol license to either capitol security officers from the state police or to sergeants at arms or assistant sergeants at arms from the senate or house of representatives. The bill also makes some minor technical changes to the existing law, such as adjusting language about employee status and commission responsibilities, but the primary substantive change is the new provision allowing licensed concealed carry in the state capitol building. This change represents a modification of previous restrictions on weapons in the state capitol, expanding gun rights for licensed carriers in this government facility.
