Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds retired judges (when licensed) to the list of persons exempt from the crime of criminal possession of a firearm in a sensitive location under Penal Law 265.01-e, expanding the ability to carry in those places. It also removes the prior deletion markers on other exemptions while adding this new one. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
