Grants peace officer status to park rangers and building security but explicitly states that nothing authorizes them to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm without a separate license, so no new ability to carry firearms as part of the role.
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.

Grants peace officer status to certain county park rangers and building security employees to issue tickets and informations, but with explicit disclaimer that it does not authorize firearm carry, possession, repair or disposal without a license.
Park rangers of the Erie county department of parks, recreation and forestry and building security of the Erie county department of homeland security and emergency services, who shall be authorized to issue appearance tickets, simplified traffic informations, simplified parks informations and simplified environmental conservation informations; 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.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill grants limited peace officer powers to specific Erie County employees for issuing tickets and informations. It addresses firearms only by clarifying that the status does not authorize carrying or possessing a firearm without a separate license under penal law 400.00; this is neither an expansion nor restriction of general firearm access or carry rights.
