The amendments include a restructured list of prohibited areas where concealed weapons cannot be carried, specifically adding restrictions for courtroom areas, jails, juvenile detention facilities, and schools, while also clarifying exceptions for peace officers, security personnel, and authorized individuals. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to provide false information on a permit application for carrying a concealed weapon.

The bill also declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. The changes aim to enhance public safety by clearly defining where concealed weapons are prohibited and establishing penalties for violations.
