Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Law 265.01-e by adding a new exception (p) that permits certain licensed judicial and prosecutorial officials to carry concealed firearms in court facilities lacking magnetometers or security personnel, expanding the ability to carry in those settings. It also removes 'or' and '.' from prior exceptions via deletion markers but does not alter their substance.
