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, such as metal detectors and conspicuous signage. Additionally, it allows employees to carry concealed handguns at their workplace unless specific security measures are implemented. The bill also outlines the process 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 an affidavit acknowledging firearm regulations.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions that protect state agencies and municipalities from liability concerning concealed carry actions, provided they have adequate security measures in place. It also specifies that certain facilities, such as correctional institutions and medical care facilities, are exempt from these regulations. The language of the bill includes several deletions and insertions to refine the definitions and requirements related to concealed carry, ensuring clarity in the law's application. The bill will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register.
