HB1059 is scheduled for a committee hearing on 2/6 10:30 am in room 432-A of the capitol.
Text of Measure
Some people think this may be an anti-OC bill, but I don't read it that way. I think this tries to eliminate intentional flashing of a concealed firearm.
Other things in this bill include removing city, state and local government buildings from the prohibited places list unless they provide their own security and metal detectors. It removes meetings of government officials from the prohibited places list. It removes schools to allow for the parking lot exemption.
This bill would remove parks and recreational areas from the protected from being a prohibited place list. I don't see this as an issue as the state has preemption and if state law doesn't prohibit it, then it is OK in those areas.
This bill would also require businesses who don't want firearms in their buildings to post signage...no more verbal warnings. Also clarifies that carrying past a sign is trespass not a violation of the SDA.
