Bill Summary
Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that the prohibition against carrying a firearm into any building, parking area, or portion of a building under the control of an officer of the executive or legislative branch of government does not apply to any rest areas under the control of the Department of Transportation or to buildings located in rest areas under the control of the Department of Transportation. Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to create an exception for rest areas under the control of the Department of Transportation (DOT), meaning individuals with a concealed carry license will no longer be prohibited from carrying firearms in these rest areas or buildings located within them. Previously, the law prohibited carrying firearms into buildings, parking areas, or portions of buildings controlled by executive or legislative branch government officials, but this amendment specifically carves out DOT-controlled rest areas from that prohibition.
