What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law generally prohibits carrying a firearm on school grounds, in a public building, and in a tavern. Current law provides exceptions, such as for law enforcement officers and, in some public buildings and in taverns, for persons who have a license to carry a concealed weapon. This bill prohibits carrying a firearm in or within 40 feet of a polling place or a location where election officials are conducting a canvass or a recount. The prohibition on the polling place begins one hour before the polling place opens and ends one hour after the polling place closes. Law enforcement officers and security personnel are exempted from the prohibitions created under this bill.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report.
