What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with several exceptions, an individual who goes armed with a firearm in any building owned or leased by the state or any political subdivision of the state is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Law enforcement officers, former law enforcement officers, members of the armed forces who go armed in the line of duty, and individuals with a license to carry a concealed weapon are exempted from this general prohibition, but the state or a local government may, with proper notice, prevent individuals from going armed with a firearm in a building that is owned, occupied, or controlled by the state or the local government. A person who violates the prohibition is guilty of a Class B forfeiture.
This bill prohibits anyone, except on-duty law enforcement officers and armed forces who go armed in the line of duty, from going armed with a firearm in the state capitol. A person who violates the provision is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
