↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Prohibits the department of transportation from restricting concealed carry by valid permit holders at state rest areas, parking areas and scenic overlooks, so more ability to carry firearms in those locations.
No rule or regulation adopted pursuant to this section shall prohibit or restrict the possession of a concealed firearm by any individual with a valid permit to have and carry a concealed firearm in this state.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision to Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1626 that bars the DOT from using its authority over state rest/parking areas and scenic overlooks to prohibit or restrict concealed carry by valid permit holders. This directly expands the ability to carry firearms in those specific public locations by preempting potential administrative restrictions.
