Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds an exemption to the Penal Code's prohibition on carrying a concealed handgun at a polling place (Penal Code 46.03(a)(2)) specifically for licensed election judges and early voting clerks performing their duties, which expands the ability to carry firearms in polling places under the firearms/carry topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
