Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds specific residential facilities serving people with intellectual or developmental disabilities to the list of locations where unlicensed possession or carry of listed weapons is a criminal offense (new (a)(15)), expanding the scope of carry restrictions. It simultaneously adds these locations to the list of places where a license to carry exempts the holder if no effective notice was given (amended 46.15(p)), reducing the restriction for licensed carriers. Both changes are substantive and affect the firearms/carry topic in opposite directions.
