The bill amends K.S.A. 75-7c20 to clarify the regulations surrounding the carrying of concealed handguns in state and municipal buildings. It stipulates that concealed carry is not prohibited in public areas of these buildings unless adequate security measures are in place and proper signage is posted. Additionally, it allows for the carrying of concealed handguns throughout an entire building if similar security measures are met. The bill also outlines conditions under which employees may be prohibited from carrying concealed handguns at their workplace, emphasizing the need for security plans and proper authorization for individuals entering through restricted access entrances.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions that protect state agencies and municipalities from liability regarding the actions of individuals carrying concealed handguns, provided they have implemented adequate security measures. It also specifies that certain facilities, such as corrections and law enforcement buildings, are exempt from these regulations. The bill repeals the previous version of K.S.A. 75-7c20 and establishes definitions for terms such as "adequate security measures," "public area," and "restricted access entrance," ensuring clarity in the enforcement of these regulations.
