=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Amends a state penal law section that sets uniform restrictions on where firearms may be carried, including in court facilities, thereby maintaining statewide preemption over local rules on this issue.
AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to allowing certain judges, justices, and criminal prosecutors to carry a concealed firearm in court, where no magnetometer or security personnel is present
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a specific exception to New York's concealed carry restrictions (Penal Law 265.01-e) for certain licensed judicial and prosecutorial officials in unsecured court facilities, which expands the ability to carry firearms in those settings. It operates within the existing state penal law framework governing carry locations, so it does not change preemption rules but maintains the state's uniform approach.
