Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Government Code §411.204 to limit who may post the statutory no-carry sign (only 51%+ alcohol businesses), adds penalties for improper posting by alcohol licensees, and adjusts sign requirements; this removes the ability of most private businesses to legally ban licensed handgun carry, expanding the right to carry.
