What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a person from carrying a firearm in certain buildings

owned or leased by the state or a local government if properly posted. This bill allows

the state or a local government to post vehicles that are part of a public mass

transportation system. A person who carries a firearm on a posted vehicle is subject

to a Class B forfeiture, which is the same penalty as carrying a firearm into a building

that is posted by the state or a local government.
