Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends s. 790.06(12)(a)9 to create an exception allowing sworn law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms into certain athletic events as private citizens, which previously barred all license holders from doing so; this expands the ability to carry firearms in those locations. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
