Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends preemption statutes to grant municipalities and counties new authority to regulate or prohibit firearm carrying specifically in their own libraries (a restriction on firearms access in those places), while carving out exceptions for certain authorized carriers such as peace officers and licensed security personnel (an expansion for those persons). This creates mixed directions under the firearms/preemption-sanctuary tag. No other topics are substantively addressed.
