AI Summary
This bill clarifies the definition of "reasonably necessary deviation" when legally transporting a firearm or weapon in a motor vehicle. The bill specifies that reasonably necessary deviations include collecting and discharging passengers, purchasing fuel/food/supplies, using a restroom, or contending with an emergency situation. This provides more clarity around the types of activities that would be considered reasonably necessary when transporting a firearm or weapon, rather than just stating that deviations must be "reasonably necessary under the circumstances."
