Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Government Code to include the NRA's annual meetings and exhibits as an eligible 'event' for the major events reimbursement program and names the National Rifle Association of America as a 'site selection organization.' This provides state funding eligibility for a major firearms-related event without changing any laws on buying, owning, carrying, or regulating firearms themselves.
