The bill amends sections 2923.123 and 2923.14 of the Revised Code to allow concealed handgun licensees to carry handguns in buildings that contain courtrooms, provided that these buildings are not courthouses and certain conditions are met. Specifically, the bill stipulates that the courtroom must not be in operation at the time of possession, and the governing body of the facility must have enacted a policy permitting such carry. Additionally, it introduces a provision allowing non-residents of Ohio to seek relief from firearms disabilities based on Ohio convictions, guilty pleas, or delinquent child adjudications.

Key insertions in the bill include the definition of a "governing body" and the clarification that non-residents can apply for relief in the county where their conviction occurred. The bill also modifies existing language regarding the conveyance of handguns into court-related buildings, emphasizing the need for a valid concealed handgun license and compliance with specific conditions. The existing sections 2923.123 and 2923.14 are repealed, indicating a comprehensive update to the legal framework governing firearm possession in these contexts.
