Bill > H0063

This bill modifies Florida's existing law regarding concealed weapon licenses by expanding the list of locations where individuals are prohibited from carrying handguns, weapons, or firearms. The bill specifically updates section 790.06 of Florida Statutes to clarify restrictions on carrying concealed weapons in various public and sensitive locations, including police stations, detention facilities, courthouses, polling places, government meetings, schools, career centers, certain areas of establishments serving alcohol, college and university facilities (with some narrow exceptions), airport terminals, and places where federal law already prohibits firearms. The changes appear to be aimed at enhancing public safety by preventing firearms in locations deemed potentially high-risk or inappropriate for weapon possession. The modifications will take effect on October 1, 2026, giving ample time for law enforcement, property managers, and the public to understand and prepare for the updated restrictions. The bill does not fundamentally change the concept of concealed weapon licensing but refines the specific locations where such weapons are not permitted.
