Currently, a person is prohibited from carrying a weapon in or on any bus or train, or certain facilities, belonging to the public mass transportation system know as the Bi-State Development Agency, expect for law enforcement personnel.
This bill gives a person who is lawfully carrying a concealed firearm with a valid permit full access and use of any publicly funded transportation system and prevents such a person from being harassed or detained for carrying concealed firearms on the property, vehicles, or conveyances owned, contracted, or leased by such transportation systems that are accessible to the public. This will include portions of a public transportation system provided through a contract with a private entity but excludes any corporation that provides intercity passenger train service.
This bill is the same as SB 77 (2025).
