The bill introduces a new section, 790.0135, to the Florida Statutes, which prohibits individuals from carrying weapons or firearms into specific locations, including places of nuisance, police stations, detention facilities, courthouses, polling places, and schools, among others. The bill outlines that individuals are not allowed to carry firearms in these designated areas unless otherwise authorized by law. It also specifies that violations of this section will be classified as a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable under existing statutes.

Additionally, the bill amends existing sections 790.013 and 790.06 to align with the new prohibitions. It removes certain subsections that previously outlined where licensed individuals could carry concealed weapons, effectively consolidating the restrictions into the new section. The amendments clarify that while individuals cannot carry firearms in the specified locations, they are still permitted to store firearms in vehicles for lawful purposes. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
