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 the area is properly 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 adequate security and proper signage.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for individuals who are not employees but wish to enter through restricted access entrances, requiring authorization from law enforcement or governing bodies, along with identification and acknowledgment of regulations regarding firearms. It also specifies that state agencies or municipalities providing adequate security measures will not be liable for incidents involving concealed handguns. The bill repeals the previous version of K.S.A. 75-7c20 and establishes that the new provisions will be effective upon publication in the statute book.
