Bill > SB484

This bill, known as the "The Business Liability Protection Act," aims to protect the rights of customers, employees, and invitees to possess legally owned firearms in their private motor vehicles parked on an employer's property. The key provisions of the bill include: (1) prohibiting employers from preventing customers, employees, or invitees from possessing legally owned firearms locked inside or secured to their private vehicles in the employer's parking lot; (2) restricting employers from inquiring about or searching private vehicles to ascertain the presence of firearms; (3) prohibiting employers from conditioning employment on the possession or non-possession of a concealed carry permit; and (4) granting the Attorney General the authority to enforce these provisions and seek civil penalties or injunctive relief against violating employers. The bill also provides legal immunity to employers who comply with these requirements and clarifies that the law does not create any additional duty of care for employers.
