Direction

Firearms carryAI label

No change to gun access model confidence 90%

Grants peace officer status to hospital security officers but explicitly prohibits them from carrying, possessing, repairing or disposing of a firearm without a separate license, so no expansion of firearm carry authority for these officers.

provided however, that nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to authorize such officer to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm unless the appropriate license therefor has been issued pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law.

No change to gun access model confidence 80%

Grants limited peace officer powers to hospital security officers (including detention authority) but restricts their firearm authority to only those who separately obtain a license, maintaining existing firearm licensing rules for them.

Such peace officers shall only have the powers listed in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (h) of subdivision one of section 2.20 of this article, and the power to detain an individual for a reasonable period of time while awaiting the arrival of law enforcement, provided that such peace officer has actual knowledge, or probable cause to believe, that such individual has committed an offense; provided however, that nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to authorize such officer to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm unless the appropriate license therefor has been issued

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds peace officer status and limited arrest/detention powers for Highland Hospital security officers but explicitly states they are not authorized to carry or possess firearms without a separate penal law license; this is a neutral change on the firearms axis as it neither expands nor restricts general firearm access or rules.
