↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 85%
Broadens the offense of possession, exhibition, use, or threat involving a firearm to cover areas on or within 1,000 feet of school property (previously limited to on school property), increasing criminal liability for such conduct near schools.
possesses, exhibits, or uses a firearm: (A) on or within 1,000 feet of property owned by a private or public school, as measured from any point on the school's real property boundary line
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands school firearm-free zones from 300 feet to 1,000 feet for both criminal offenses under Penal Code 46.03 and student expulsion under Education Code 37.007, broadens the related school offense in Education Code 37.125 to the same 1,000-foot radius, and adds a specific defense to prosecution for residence or vehicle possession; these changes restrict the ability to carry or possess firearms near schools while updating cross-references without altering other firearm rules.
