The bill amends the Michigan penal code to establish restrictions on firearm possession in specific locations, including financial institutions, places of worship, courts, theaters, sports arenas, day care centers, hospitals, and establishments licensed under the Michigan liquor control code. It also introduces new provisions that prohibit firearm possession at the Michigan State Capitol Building and associated office buildings, with exceptions for security personnel, peace officers, and licensed concealed carry holders who are serving as members of the Michigan legislature. The bill clarifies that "premises" does not include parking areas of these locations.

Additionally, the bill outlines restrictions on firearm possession during election periods, including polling places and early voting sites, as well as within proximity to absent voter ballot drop boxes and counting places. Exceptions are made for peace officers, individuals in their residences or private property, and those lawfully transporting firearms in vehicles. Violations of these provisions are classified as misdemeanors, punishable by up to 90 days of imprisonment or a fine, with the previous fine limit being removed.
